On my Laptop the partition is corrupted and parted and/or partition managerfrom Yast are not able to repair the problem. I am running 10.3 now without aproblem but anything else on this machine does not want to work. It complaints from an overlap from partition 2. I have looked into the partition overview and it gives me following info withthe warning that it not able to change anything. size start endSda 37.2 GB 0 4863sda1 /windows xp 9.7 GB 1 1275sda2 0.0 GB 1276 1276sda3 /drdos 1.9 GB 1277 1532sda4 /xtra 2.9 GB 1533 1914sda5 / (suse10.3) 10.0 GB 1915 3220 sda6 /home 2.0 GB 3221 3482sda7 /suse10.2 10.0 GB 3483 4788sda8 swap 611.8MB 4789 4866
Your table is incomprehensible. Please adjust the spacing so that we can read it.
sda1 should be NTFS but is marked in the partition table as Linux native as allthe other partitions. This cannot be rectified for the moment.
Just change the partition's type number back to the one for NFS and you'll be good. This can be done with the partition table editor.
Sda2 should have been an extended partition as far as I remeber. Swap ends on 4866, three more than the total size of the disc.
I have looked into the expert mode of the Yast partition manager but before Idelete the partition table I would like to know if this tool and with aboveinfo I could rebuild a working partition without loosing my setup. sda2should be what? Swap has to be within the size of the harddisc?
Looking at the complete disc overview sda I found that the sda2 originallyamounted to 7.8 MB. I assume that the reinstalled drdos just took these 7.8MBfor itself and by doing this corrupted the partition. Would a deletion ofdrdos and giving sda2 its 7.8 MB back be a solution? I would try to use thetools of the UBCD disc to achieve this as parted just does not want to workon the partition. Any other tools for this?
