I just got SuSE 8.1 from my windows XP professional machine with an NTFS partition. I used partition Magic 8 and like most of the people talking about xmnt2002 and AUTOCHK not working i have the same problem but i found out in fdisk its the cylenders, heres what it gave me:
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9729.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
that is my problem, heres my parittion table:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1808 9729 63633433+ 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 34 1807 14249623+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 1 33 265041 82 Linux swap
-------------------------------
I need help! Thanks, -Evan
