Now I'm really confused.
First, I dpn't have a hda - I think that's something to do with the unusual setup on this mobo, which has the usual 2 IDE interfaces + 2 UDMA interfaces with a software Promise controller.
you may not have an hda and hdb, but, when 'what ever' wrote your 'lilo.conf', it thought you need to have them.
so, to give them to you, a 1st re mapping is to issue, disk=/dev/hde bios=0x81 disk=/dev/hdg bios=0x82 which ;logically' changes hde to hda, and hdf to hdb, so that bios will think you have an hda and hdb...
then because 'what ever' 'thinks' 'windowsOriginal' has to be on hda, which in fact it does not, it again re wrote what is in bios to move logical hdb to logical hda, and logical hda to logical hdb. i would guess this to happen because when 'table=/dev/hde' is seen, it thinks this is not 'hda/0x80' so it re maps again with, map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80
in effect, hde is 'logically' moved to hdb/0x81, then moved to hda/0x80.
just a new play on old term 'faking it'.
hthth.
