[cobalt-users] [RaQ4] Boot Partition error



Hi,

I have a corrupt boot partition. The machine still boots and runs without error but I am unable to use partition magic to copy the boot partition.

PowerQuest says the error is uncorrectable and the solution is to delete the partition and recreate it.

How can I recreate the contents of this partition? Will I need to use the OS Restore and then replace the new (default) /home and /var partitions with my current ones? Suggestions?

There are 5 partitions on the hard drive:

Linux Ext2    Pri   760.9  <-- Var (right?)
EPBR          Log    31.4  <-- Boot
Linux Swap    Log   117.6  <-- Swap
Linux Ext2    Pri   203.10  <---- What is this partition ??
Linux Ext2    Pri  8644.4  <-- Home

Thanks!
- Bill
