[SOLVED] fdisk - unable to open /dev/hda
I type in 'fdisk /dev/hda' and nothing comes up. Even 'fdisk -l' shows nothing. What's wrong here?
On a similar note, my /etc/fstab has some weird stuff - a long UUID number where I would expect /dev/hda5
I'm relatively new to linux, and intend to start over from scratch. My whole setup is fubar - ubuntu is installed on a couple of logical partitions, and I'm running Grub with XP. I want to learn as much as I can, and would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
