|
|
A little background info:
I had to reinstall Windows on my dual-boot desktop (Windows died, go figure). So, I reinstall XP Home. Somehow, my swap partition got killed in the process (either by me, or else Windows. I'm guessing Windows on this one ). I noticed it was gone, so I attempted to recreate it. I did get a swap partition, but it's now identified differently:
Prior to Windows reinstall I had:
/dev/hda1 - Windows
/dev/hda2 - /boot
/dev/hda3 - swap
/dev/hda4 - /
As of now, the scheme is the same, except /dev/hda4 is now marked as swap, and /dev/hda3 is /, at least according to fdisk. The weird thing is, the start and end (shown in fdisk) for the swap partition is the same. It just renumbered the partitions. I'm booted into Gentoo now, but Gentoo has two issues:
1 - it couldn't turn on the swap (it's trying to do swapon to /dev/hda3, which is now /)
2 - it thinks / is mounted on /dev/hda4, which it's not.
I'm hoping someone out there has encountered this before. Below is also the output the print command from parted:
Code: | Disk label type: msdos
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 61443.918 primary ntfs boot
2 61443.918 61498.828 primary ext2

3 62479.358 117796.926 primary reiserfs

I figured it out this morning. I must have wiped out the changes I had made to switch the partitions. I made the changes again, and now it's working fine. Thanks for the responses, though. _________________ Journey inside the mind of a geek |
