hello. i'd like to say my partition problems are solved, and email address changed again. i had 3 partitions. i just didn't have the table. i did remember the sizes, but didin't have the tools. so -- i found an old boot disk - and i was able to just punch in the sizes. to make sure it was correct, i di the following: dd if=/dev/hda1 | file - dd if=/dev/hda2 | file - etc. it's important that you be careful, or you might end up ruining your data. it took a while to remember the sizes though. if one partition's taking up the rest of your drive, you just need the sizes for the rest of them. i'm thinking of brailling the partition table out and just hanging it on my wall, so i can remember the sizes i had if i want to reinstall or something like that. anyway - it's all fixed now, i hope. (it's worked for a week so it's definately fixed). i'm a bit busy right now since i have math class in minutes, so if you have any questions, let me know.
