hi..

cfdisk starts but it can't find any of my HD's with this error:
fatal error..cannot open disk drive

any idea ?

thx
nl

I get that same error when I run cfdisk and it doesn't matter if I put 'sudo' or not. I don't know what the hell to do.

do sudo su instead of sudo as i think sudo is only good for 1 command, and sudo su keeps root logged in until logged out.

just a guess, but try cfdisk /dev/hda if it is the first primary master hdd, and cfdisk /dev/hdb if secondary master, ect.... so you get the specific drive desired.
