Hi there,
I have tried it many times rohit, this does not happen. Also all this does
not have any relevance to the sectors (or cylinders) on the physical
disk... Probably stored in the MBR etc... But it *IS* possible for U to
have something like
cylinders partition number
0-200 4
201-250 2
251-300 1
301-350 3
Also I looked up the numbering stuff - fdisk seems to follow what kala had
written (ie fdisk only shows the logical drives in the first extended
partition (say hda5,6,7) and only shows the other extended partition as an
"extended partition" but does *NOT* list the logical drives contained
therin... *BUT* I *WAS* able to mount the other logical drives as well
without any problems (ie fdisk only showed hda5,6,7 but I was able to
mount hda8,9 etc without any trouble)... Couldn't try out the logical
drive deletion part to check how the logical drives renumber themselves...
Regards,
Narain.

You better try it. I think it will then become hda1, 2 and 3 [while 4
changes to 3]
