Since I had problems with the other disk images I tried the comb-disk from
http://rainbow.cs.unipi.gr/~harkal/ELKS/images/images-latest.zip
Here is the old partitions (not created by me)
-----
# fdisk /dev/bda
Command: p
START END
Decice Boot Head Sector Cylinder Head Sector Cylinder Type Sector count
/dev/bda1 ? 109 32 100 115 43 288 69 543912809
/dev/bda2 ? 114 50 367 13 10 82 72 1629513059
/dev/bda3 ? 100 32 112 101 51 371 72 2036689696
/dev/bda4 ? 119 40 357 32 50 357 6e -2147483638

Why is there an minus mark before Sectort count on /dev/bda5?
Allright, I deleted the old partitions since I wanted to add new ones.

Command: p
START END

First of all, probably the result is showing up just because my low fdisk-knowledge. The commands seems pretty
allright to me. I wonder where all the sectors, cylynder and such did go? Comparing to the first partition table.
The harddrive is according to Toshiba T1000LE (My computer is an T1000SE) User's manual an integrated 2 1/2" 20MB harddrive.
Thanks
