Hi all folks,
I installed RH7.3 on a RAID-0 box which has following setup
(2 HDDs, each 40G)
Drive/partition
C FAT16 200MB as boot section
D FAT32 22G Win98/Win2000 dual boot machine
E FAT32 48G For installation of RH7.3
F FAT32 remainder For Win98/Win2000 data storage
At time of installation I selected automatic. After installation I could
not start the PC. The screen hanged on ;
....
.......
GRUB
I booted up the PC with the rescue floppy and RH7.3 started.
on KDE console window
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 77557 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Disk /dev/hdc doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 77557 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 102 51376+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 103 75997 38251080 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 75998 77557 786240 82 Linux swap
During "shutdown" The screen hanged at
Halting system
md: stopping all md devices
flushing ide devies : hda hdc hdg hdh
System halted
I suppose
hda = drive-C
hac = drive-D
hdg = drive-E (not CD-Writer)
hdh = drive-F (not CD-Rom)
Kindly advice how to rectify this mistake moving RH7.3 to hdg(drive-D) and
create GRUB on hda(drive-C)
If impossible kindly advise how to uninstall RH7.3
Thanks in advance.
