Quote | Warning: Partition 1 on /dev/hda is not marked active....
I ran the cfdisk command and I got a Fatal Error: Bad primary partition 2: Partition begins after end of disk press any key to exti cfdisk. Any other suggestions? |
You have one particular partition that starts and ends at 524 within another partition which starts at 74 and ends at 532. It won't work like that, and the problem is compounded by that dummy Windows partition being bootable but not the Linux partition (hda2). Delete hda3 (0 blocks -- whatever you had or wanted there is already toast) and toggle hda2 bootable and you'll either be able to boot DSL or be one REALLY BIG step closer. You may end up repartitioning and reinstalling altogether, but it'll work once you get your partitions set up properly.
