Hello Steven
I think the problem is that it is an old segate hd maybe around 545MB
but formated to 518MB. BIOS sees it as 545MB after working with
Linux? and than Linux goes behind 518MB?
fdisk BasicLinux with -l >*.text says:
Disk /dev/hda: 12 heads, 34 sectors, 1024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 408 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 1023 208675 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
Disk /dev/hdc: 32 heads, 63 sectors, 528 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 1 527 531184+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
fdisk /dev/hdc1 and than p says something like:
-snip??-
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks id System
/dev/hdc12 - 549121 549419 15056760964999573 20 unknown
Partition2 has different physical/logical beginings (non-Linux):
phys=(256,0,32) logical=(549418,23,24)
Partition2 has different physical/logical endings
phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(150675,18,28)
Partition2 does not end on cylinder boundery
phys=(0, 0, 0) should be (0, 31, 63)
-snip-
?How could I print that to a text file?
fdisk DR-DOS was:
No Drive Start End Mb Status Type
1 D: 0 526 518 A PRI DOS, FAT16B (Big DOS >32 MB)
That is all very bad. I think its better to do nothing (DOS is runing)
before i can backup the system and than kicking all away?
regards Joerg
