Re-Installing SLES 10
An Embarrassing 'Hello'.
Am a 'newbie' who successfully installed SLES 10 initially, wanted a different partition setup, tried reinstalling from the same CD. Now I've been met with a variety of 'error' messages including error code -3003, 'invalid partition table' and 'No Hard Drives detected'when trying different partitioning schemes. (It ends up that /sda2 won't 'mount'.)
Is there a way to just re-install SLES 10 from 'scatch' as a new, pristine installation? I am installing on a IBM eServer xSeries 226 server. I think I've bitten off far more than I can chew. Worse, there is nothing to fall back on except the four .iso disks I used to install successfully the first time around.
Also, would trying to install a different version of SUSE or even Windows XP 'Pro' (temporarily) do the trick or make things even worse? The last few error messages I've encountered simply state, 'Invalid partition table.'
Thank you.
