Hi Guys, I installed RH7.2 on a 4th SCSI drive using GRUB installed on the 4th drive. It messed up the partition table on drive 1! My first hard drive is a 4.3G SCSI with a standard OS/2 boot manager. I use this boot manager to point to the different bootable partitions on various drives. These is DOS 6.22 on drive 1 (Via NT 4 boot loader), Win 95 and OS/2 Warp4. Nt4 is booted via the NT boot loader. The OS/2 boot manager also points to a partition on drive 2 which has Lilo for a Redhat 7.1 install. This config has worked flawlessly for years. I have not asked Redhat to do anything to the first hard drive during the install. There was a warning about partition table during install and shutdown after install but this should not have affected disk 1 in any way as I did not select anything to be done to disk 1. When I booted up again the OS/2 boot manager came up with some entries missing. When I ran Partition magic to see why it shows error #114 which has to do with partition boundaries. What can I do now? Why did Redhat 7.2 even touch my partition table on drive 1? I need to restore the partition table to a state where I can manipulate it with Partition Magic. Any advice on this??? Anthony
