someone asked for the output of fdisk -l and cat /boot/grub/menulist.lst on my system. Perhaps it will help clarify things. sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x4c11d350 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 3366 27037363+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 4675 4865 1534207+ 5 Extended /dev/sda3 3367 4073 5678977+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 * 4074 4674 4827532+ 83 Linux /dev/sda5 4776 4865 722893+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 4710 4775 530082 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 4675 4709 281074+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition table entries are not in disk order ==================================== Disk /dev/sda: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes 129 heads, 32 sectors/track, 952 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4128 * 512 = 2113536 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 949 1957872 6 FAT16 Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(956, 128, 32) logical=(948, 75, 32) The information below the ============ is given only while I am on 6.10. Not while I am on 7.10. The output of the command: sudo cat /boot/grub/menulist.lst I put in the attachment as it is large. It clear that I have 3 linuxes.
