My comments:
OK, when I tried to do the fdisk-l /dev/hdb > 10-oparts (as root in a
console from within 10.2) I got no output. Nothing. (Is it the number 10 or
the capitalized IO, and is oparts capitalized?)
Had to drop back to level 3 before I could get any output from the command. I
don't know how to save and paste the output from there but this is what I
found:
fdisk -l /dev/hdb gives me 3 partitions. A 1G boot partition, a 1G swap
partition, and a 28G LVM (which I have my home and all other partions on as
LVM's)
If I then do an fdisk -l on hdb1 (the boot partition) it tells me that hdb1
doesn't have a valid partition table ??
Seeing that, I do and fsck on /dev/hdb. Output is that the device is busy and
failed (status 0x0)
Then I do an fsck on hdb1 - says it is clean
Then I do an fsck on hdb2 - says swap not found (error2)
Then I do an fsck on hdb3 - says LVM2 member: not found (errror2)
I really can't believe there is a partition table problem.
The command > 10-Opart never produces any results. (Tried in every
variation I could think of, as above)
Sooooo...I guess that I am not understanding this.
Mind you now, I did not TOUCH any of the partitions on hdb.
To remind you, I have 3 drives. The first is hda which is an ide device that
has Win98 and several Linux partitions (where I keep my backups, workspace
and some not so important data) The second is hdb, another ide, where 10.0 is
installed and most of my important personal data is stored, and the new drive
a SATA, sda, where I installed 10.2
I can go into the Yast partioner and see that everything is there. I just
cannot access hdb (10.0) I have to access hdb. That is where everything that
is important resides. Maybe if I unplug the new Sata drive I will be able to
mount that drive with the DVD?
Thanks again and Please help. I'm sure it has something to do with changing
from LILO to Grub. but then Win98 was picked up by Grub but 10.0 was not.
Very frustrating.
