On my dual-boot system, the partition talbe follows:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 5483 44042166 7 NTFS
/dev/sda2 7397 7409 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 12031 12161 1052257+ 7 NTFS
/dev/sda4 7410 12030 37118182+ f W95Ext'd
/dev/sda5 7410 8385 7839688+ 8e LinuxLVM
/dev/sda6 8386 12030 29278431 8e LinuxLVM
The two NTFS partitions [sad1,sda3] are associated with windowsXP; the rest of them are occupied by LINUX, as i recalled, sda2 is for /boot, sda4 is an extended partition containing /root, /home partitions. However, I do not see /swap, is it hidden by linux or I screwed up the installation ? THANKS..
P.S: do I have make /boot partition a primary partition when installing? I think last time i manually made /boot a primary partition..
