Hi List,
Please help me : I have landed in the following
situation and I am helpless now.
I have Red Hat Linux and Windows 2000 on my hard
drive. TOday I installed fresh Windows 2000 on my
previous Windows 2000.
When I started my machine again, Linux could not boot.
I booted it then with CD -- However the CD asks me to
install/upgrade it. When I clicked on upgrade it asks
me somethings like Language =EN , Keyboard etc...and
then says:
"The Linux Swap Partition does not seem to be
initialized" CLick OK to reboot your system.
I could not get into my Linux. ALl the data is safe, I
can mount that to /mnt/sysimage when I went to rescue
mode. When I see my /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab it does
not show my Linux Partition /dev/hda2 and when I try
to mount like
$mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 to /foo
It does not work either.
I am quite puzzled and wondering if at all installing
windows 2000 would have deleted the swap partition.
WHen I Do fdisk /dev/hda
and option p to print the partition table;
I see the following:
Device Boot start end blocks id system
/dev/hda1 1 13 <some value> Linux
/dev/hda2 14 1375 <some value> Linux
/dev/hda4 * 1506 2432 <some value>+ HPFS/NTFS
Please Help Me....
Thanks
