Code:

My partition table:

/dev/hda1 FAT32
/dev/hda2 Linux
/dev/hda3 Linux
/dev/hda4 Extended
/dev/hda5 Linux Swap
/dev/hda6 Linux

Now, the problem is that in my /dev there's only hda1-4 ... i have no means of accessing my swap (hda5) or the last partition (hda6).

Any ideas on what the problem might be and/or how i fix it?

Thanks,
/iarkin

you don't have more than 4 primary partitions, the rest are under an extended partition. should be able to mount em fine though. tried fdisk /dev/hdX, see what that says?
