Hi all,

I have a WD caviar disk which is paritioned as follows:

	/dev/hda1	1	1	11	22144+		4	Dos 16 bit <
32m
	/dev/hda2	45	12	32	41328		82	Linux swap
	/dev/hda3	127	32	525	994896		83	Linux Native

Before I ran lilo, fdisk complained that

	Partition 1 does not end on a cylinder boundary
		phys=(10,10,63) should be (10,15,63)

Then I ran the dreaded lilo with dos&linux entries - this disappeared
and instead I got complaints that partitions 2&3 
	
	have different [phys/logical endings
	have different phys/logical beginning
	don't end on cylinder boundaries.

The partition table looks utterly trashed.  Can I do anything to get
it back?  Could my disk geometry be wrong in the BIOS?  [it is mode 4,
lba and as on the disk]

All ideas welcome.

Colin Rhodes.
