I *know* grub counts from zero but it showed me (hd0,9)==/dev/hda10...... As far as the link is concerned,already bookmarked....... > > Nope, it's for all partitions. I thought so too,I've never come across anything in my *short* history of using Linux where Grub used different rules for counting partitions depending on their type..... How did you realize that the boot partition was corrupt? I'm asking > since you said that fsck came out clean. *embarrassed smile* I guessed...since a removal and remake(which included format) resolved the problem.........
