Hi !
I think I did hit the 4 partition limit .
The result of my fdisk -l /dev/hda is as ffs:-
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7297 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 574 4610623+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 575 1097 4200997+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 1098 1228 1052257+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda4 1229 1835 4875727+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
Thank you all for your help .
bj

That certainly makes sense ... but in his message he did include a list of
partitions, and it only had 3 entries (only one linux partition, so no
/boot partition, presumably).
If he just missed the fourth one ... he didn't say *how* he checked the
partition list ... the procedure I described will find it for him, and he
may have something of a mess on his hands (depending on the geometry of the
drive as the BIOS sees it).
If he did not miss it, and he really has only 3 partitions, then he has a
different problem and needs different help.
