....[laptop] arrived with Ubuntu installed....
When the machine arrived, there there was besides Ubuntu (in a single primary partition), also a primary partition containing Dell utilities. The latter was at the beginning of the HD.
It's a shame you can't remember the info probably most in this thread would like to know. You didn't by any chance save a dfsee.log from your first session, did you? You say primary, but that's of little import. The bigger question is what types those two partitions were. Installing Linux to a single partition with no separate partition even for swap is unusual. More expected of a mere two primary partition Linux system of which one is a vendor utility partition is that the other of them would be either a type 05h, or, of greater interest, either a type EEh (GPT, containing other partitions) or a type 8E (Linux LVM, containing other partitions). DFSee won't yet show the existence of (or anything else about) partitions contained within EEh or 8Eh partitions. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
