Re: Labeling of partitions unclear

Hi all -

in my WinXP-Home system there are 3 hard discs.
Grub starts WinXP, Linux and Win98SE where Win98SE sits in the primary
partition of the third disc.
The third disc contains 2 partitions: 1 primary, 1 logical, labeled in
Grub as hd2,0 and hd2,4.

This third small disc was now changed by a 400GB disc again partitioned
in 2 partitions, 1 primary and 1 logical, but the primary partition is
now labeled hdc3 (not hdc1 ?) or in Grub as hd2,2 (not hd2,0 ?) which I
recognized when Win98SE did not start. Thus, I had to change this
additinally in Grub.

How can this labeling occur?
Partioning had been done by Acronis Partition Expert under WinXP.

I find it kind of odd that you consider Windows important enough to post
the version, but not Linux.

Windows1, Linux and Windows2 would have been fair.

I, for one, am not going to help you run Windows, regardless. I recommend
mke2fs /dev/hda
mke2fs /dev/hdc

You get the drift....

Then mount one as /var and ond one as /usr.

Now make up your mind: Are you a Linux Runner or a Windows Weenie?

And keep in mind that KDE is only the first step towards learning to run
Linux. You'll have to give up the training wheels some day...

Way to go Mr. Subtle! Most people I know switched to Linux because they
percieved the community to be friendly and helpful, instead of
hate-mongering.

Personally, I'd rather try to help people, thus easing the transition,
instead of trying to enforce a binary decision on them...
