I think, in fact, that HDs have two copies of the partition table.
No, not true.
DOS/Windows have two fat, may be this is the error
The machine has been rebooted many times since the DFSee operations. What is there is the partitions I put there, not what the installer says.
please, when somebody ask you to give an info, give it.
I thought the answer I gave Carlos was a complete one. It seemed clear from his question that he wanted to see if a reboot would clear up the confusion; I answered that the system had been rebooted many times, implying that another one wouldn't help.
open a terminal with any linux on this computer, go root and type "fdisk -l"
There was at the time no Linux or any other operating system on the disk, only empty partitions. I could have used DFSee in fdisk mode, but I didn't think of it at 2 in the morning. For the record, the fdisk mode did show me the partition arrangement on the disk, which was the Boot Manager (in the MBR, as has been noted, although I can't fathom how it got there), and the three partitions that I had made. There still is no system. Right now, the machine is wiping the free space -- which is the entire disk because I have deleted the partitions. I had previously wiped Track 1. I'm sure I could have done with wiping less, but I am now in a mode of preferring overkill to leaving anything undone.
copy here the result...
thanks jdd
