Ok, Here's where i am at, I boot using the rescue CD, I get to the
shell, I type these in this order....

sfdisk -d /dev/hda > MyPartitionTable.txt
i then type ls to make sure it's there, and it is
i then type cat MyPartitionTable.txt
it then spit up the information about my partition table.
after this, I *THINK* I am suppose to type 
sfdisk --no-reread -H255 /dev/hda

but when i type that, it just spits out the command help page.
i even tried, sfdisk --no-reread --force -H255 /dev/hda
and still spits up the command options page.

Thanks
Mathew
