Georgiles Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Please help me: 1. I can only boot with DVD inside. Why? 2. My HDD is 250 Mb, I'm missing 100 GB (look down with red) 3. What is cylinders deal ? I have windows and 10.4.5 on separate hard drives. Here is the info. in knoppix: command - sudo fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30401. 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 - p (print the partition table) isk /dev/hda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 30401 244196001 af Unknown isk /dev/hda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes command - sudo cfdisk cfdisk 2.12p Disk Drive: /dev/hda Size: 250059350016 bytes, 250.0 GB Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 30401 Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hda1 Boot Primary Unknown (AF) 250056.74 Disk Utility in OSx: Name : OSx Type : Volume Disk Identifier : disk2s1 File System : Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Connection Bus : ATA Partition Type : Apple_HFS it just doesn't add (missing like 100 Gb): Capacity : 232.9 GB (250,056,705,024 Bytes) Free Space : 80.1 GB (86,017,773,568 Bytes) Used : 47.9 GB (51,421,147,136 Bytes) Bootable : Yes Disk Number : 2 Partition Number : 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
