I checked with parted and have the same disk setup as you. I also can see my old partitions using the "parted /dev/sda print" command. I guess my grub setup got hosed somehow, and the GPT conversion is a red-herring. I'm downloading an F18 live image to try a rescue on the boot setup. An f17 image was unable to cope with the GPT conversion. After saying that it identified and mounted the old root partition (but "may have had some problems"), the mount point was null. Maybe F18 can fix itself. -- Rick Walker -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
