Hi List, Please help me : I have landed in the following situation and I am helpless now. I have Red Hat Linux and Windows 2000 on my hard drive. TOday I installed fresh Windows 2000 on my previous Windows 2000. When I started my machine again, Linux could not boot. I booted it then with CD -- However the CD asks me to install/upgrade it. When I clicked on upgrade it asks me somethings like Language =EN , Keyboard etc...and then says: "The Linux Swap Partition does not seem to be initialized" CLick OK to reboot your system. I could not get into my Linux. ALl the data is safe, I can mount that to /mnt/sysimage when I went to rescue mode. When I see my /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab it does not show my Linux Partition /dev/hda2 and when I try to mount like $mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 to /foo It does not work either. I am quite puzzled and wondering if at all installing windows 2000 would have deleted the swap partition. WHen I Do fdisk /dev/hda and option p to print the partition table; I see the following: Device Boot start end blocks id system /dev/hda1 1 13 <some value> Linux /dev/hda2 14 1375 <some value> Linux /dev/hda4 * 1506 2432 <some value>+ HPFS/NTFS Please Help Me.... Thanks DOnt: In Need :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
