No hda

[jludwig]

Lets Start with this;

Very carefully in a terminal (like dos more) -- read what you type and
be sure that's what you want to do -- <fdisk /dev/hda>

You will get something like:

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7753.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help):

type <p> enter -- Command (m for help): p

You will get something like:

Command (m for help): p
