Hi All,
OOps! I did it again...

One evening I tried to install Minix on the swap
partition of Linux.
No problems with /swapfile and swapon etc...
till i fiddled with the partition table with 'part'
the partitioning
tool in Minix.

You guessed right... when booting linix the panic
begins

-------------<Begining of
Panic>------------------------
Partition check:

-------------<E(A)nd the Panic
continues...>------------------------

Now what? Minix does not recognize the Linux file
system
and vice versa. The partition is not being recognized
by
the partitioning tools too!
(W)Bhindoze works fine... till now...

Any kewl ideas... or do I have to chuck my HDD...(lol)
Anyway in which i may retrieve the old partition table
thru
dos/widoze?

have a nice day ( mine is skewered...)
Andrew
