I was installing debian.
My first disk has winzozz and a /boot partition (hda4)
of 50mb - ext2.
The 2°disk (/dev/hdd) had 2 swap partitions (500 and 1000 mb)
and the root partition for debian(+ one logical fat32).(I had made this many other times in order to install debian and other linux distribution :-(
).I wanted to recreate all partitions on the 2° had disk.
I have simply cancelled the 2 swap and the old root (/) except extended with logical fat32 , with cfdisk debian tool;
when I have cancelled and recreated swaps and root, I am passed from 2° on 1 ° console; but the installation system it said to me that the partition native linux not was.
In fact when i launch another time cfdisk, not there were more the created as soon as partitions.
Reboot --> and i have launch fdisk.
after you know as it has gone.
It's all so strange!!!
