I'm sorry, that is the result of my clumsiness. There is only one HD, and it
is
a SATA drive. The DFSee report came back naming "hda" in both places above,
and
I replaced one of the instances with "sda" as I was mulling over the
significance of what appears to be an error of some sort. I forgot to change
it
back when I sent my note to this forum.

The only "hda" on the machine is the CD/DVD drive. That is a certain, as you
can see from the fact that, when I need to unmount the CD/DVD drive in order
to
eject a disk, my command is "umount /dev/hda".

I ran DFSee v9.xx from OS/2, because that is the only way I can do it. The
whole problem, of course, is that I can't access Linux. I do not have a DFSee
v9.xx bootable disk, but I do have one for v8.02, but I am sure this earlier
version does not give a much detail as the new v9.xx does. Do you want me to
run DFSDISK with DFSee v8? Or some other report? Nothing would be easier, just
say the word.

http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/tmp/dfsee/p-t18f.txt shows you what I was looking
for. Run from OS/2, it's simply the content of dfswork.log that DFSee tries
to generate when you start it, press <RETURN>, and then exit, except that
I've stripped away portions at the head of the file that are not useful for
our purposes here. The Linux version does the same thing, except that the
format of the table differs somewhat. 'part -b-' would simply append the
DOS/OS2/doz-style table to the rest of it.

As long as you're appending files, include /etc/grub.conf. Better yet, attach
nothing, but instead post dfswork.log as dfswork1.txt in web space as I did
above, and, also as above, put a link to it in your reply.
