Hello, I still have problem. If I select boot from Red Hat 7.1 and got the error could not find /dev/hda7. That's what I did, I edit menu.1st. I have trouble it seems the new ES doesn't see old paritition. Do I need to modify /etc/fstab to add the old partition and what's else I need to do. Thanks for help. -- DP This is my setup: ...........................

[root at data root]# fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 14593. 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) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 5 40131 83 Linux /dev/hda2 6 14593 117178110 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 6 4425 35503618+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 4426 7372 23671746 83 Linux /dev/hda7 7373 10318 23663713+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 10319 10580 2104483+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda9 10581 10595 120456 83 Linux /dev/hda10 10596 11870 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hda11 11871 13145 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hda12 13146 14037 7164958+ 83 Linux /dev/hda13 14038 14593 4466038+ 83 Linux ....................................
