OK. I was looking for something more like this example from
/sbin/fdisk /dev/hda on my machine:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1027 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 52 1027 7839720 5 Extended
/dev/hda2 * 1 51 409626 6 FAT16
/dev/hda5 * 52 128 618471 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6 * 129 205 618471 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda7 * 1027 1027 8001 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda8 * 206 460 2048256 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 * 461 524 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 * 525 588 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda11 * 589 652 514048+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda12 * 653 678 208813+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda13 * 679 1023 2771181 83 Linux
And, my question about whether the values returned are correct
referred to the "Start" and "End" values.
If the values are not correct, _and_ _you_ _know_ _the_ _correct_
_values_, by repartitioning the disk with the correct (previous) start
and end values, you may be able to save the data on the partition
which will not mount.
This is a last-ditch, nothing-else-works method. I have had to do it
at least once, and by having previously printing out the values
returned by
/sbin/fdisk /dev/hd__ and
/sbin/sd__
I was able to restore the partitions.
