If I understood correctly, you used a different OS to create the partitions? As a general rule, it is advised to create partitions with the OS which will live on that partition.
That general rule contradicts the general rule Stan has been given for more than a decade: Do all partitioning in advance of installation of anything, preferably using a cross-platform partitioning tool, and when subsequent partitioning is called for, always use the same tool or a later version thereof. That's what I recommend, and what I believe Stan, as a former OS/2 user, usually does. You can learn about the tool we use on http://www.dfsee.com/ . It works identically whether booted to DOS, Windows, Linux, OS/2 or, subject to some limitations, Mac. Limiting partitioning to a single competent tool all but eliminates the possibility for the conflicts in partition tables that does occasionally occur in the real world, as table entry standards are rather loose. Partitioning in advance with a single tool means familiarity and fewer mistakes, and getting what you want instead of the surprises that unfamiliarity often brings. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Dfsee/gx270L01.txt as referred to in my last thread post, and asked him to provide, was made by that same tool, and provides the info from fdisk -l that you asked for, and more. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
