Ok. So you need a partition table indeed (and give (hd0,0) as root to grub).

No, because this partition table will live within hda10 only. > Moreover, doesn't creating such a partition destroy all the data > already present? Creating a partition table at the beginning of a table never destroys data, because filesystems like ext2 reserve the beginning of the partition just for this. Something that might be important too: in expert mode in fdisk, your partition should look like Nr AF Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec Cyl Start Size ID 1 00 0 1 0 254 63 242 0 3919792 83 Note that Hd is 0, not 1. You may need to type your partition geometry by hand. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
