The /etc/fstab shows the following drives hda2 hda5 hde1 hdf7 hde5 hdf8 hde7 hdb6 hdf9 hdb7 (All labeled WIN and being FAT32 or NTFS). And 3 CDROM/DVDs and on top: "/mnt/hdf5" ext3 I have put a '#' infront of all Windows partitions and the 3rd optical device, then the update went through. Well, so there was a hda2 before I removed the 3 other drives from this PC. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/installation-problem-of-mandriva-after-changing-PC-tf2324839.html#a6484762 Sent from the Mandriva - newbie-en mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
