I have tried to mount this partition (or to be more accurate the logical partition inside that extended partition) using every combination of -t xxx and /dev/ad0sn I could think of that might work - no dice. [:-(] Yes I HAVE checked that the appropriate /dev/ files exist. Yes I HAVE used fdisk to verify that the partition exists, is recognised and SHOULD be mountable. I have even used Partition Magic 7 to confirm the existance of the extended partition and the logical partition it encloses. There is obviously something I HAVEN'T done [:-)] How do I mount that recalcitrant partition, please? FWIW, here is PM7's listing. The only "odd" thing is the EPBR (Extended Partition Boot Record?), which fdisk didn't see - and which I don't understand [:-)] =========================================================================================================== Disk Geometry Information for Disk 1: 1027 Cylinders, 255 Heads, 63 Sectors/Track System PartSect # Boot BCyl Head Sect FS ECyl Head Sect StartSect NumSects =========================================================================================================== NO NAME 0 0 80 0 1 1 06 127 254 63 63 2,056,257 0 1 00 128 0 1 05 257 254 63 2,056,320 2,088,450 0 2 00 258 0 1 A5 1023 254 63 4,144,770 12,353,985 Info: End C,H,S values were large drive placeholders.
