The references to both /dev/sda7 and /dev/hda6 and sda7 would seem to imply there are at least two disks on which at least portions of Grub might be found, or maybe one disk with multiple device names. The onscreen report from simply starting DFSee ends with a chart listing partitions and their characteristics. The one you get from running DFSee in Linux instead of DOS, doz or OS/2 is a bit different. From Linux, on the command line after starting DFSee you run 'part -b-' to get a chart identical to the one provided by the other varieties by default. It's essentially an amplified version of output from 'fdisk -l <diskdevice>' for all accessible disks. -- "The basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.
