    Unhappy ubuntu+windows+bsd=partition table made a mess!!!!

    ok this is my story xP

    I wanted to install bsd but, it does work in a completely different way so I have this: primary partition windows in one extended, gentoo ubuntu and one fat32.

    1st problem bsd has to work in a primary partition so I had to using partition magic (yes it is propietary soft, but really cool) take space from the extended and made one more primary in the end of my hd

    What do I have now:

    hda1 wintendo xPPP
    hda5 ubuntu with reiser fs
    hda6 ubuntu with ext3, (yes i killed gentoo, fast but when u have to compile whole gnome.....)
    hda8 fat32
    hda9 swap

    prooooooblably my bsd it is in hda3 thats where knoppix locates something but cant read (god bless this live cd)

    Im just posting hoping someone knows how to help me

    cfdisk and fdisk give errors to me in every time I start them

    thx in advance

    This doesn't really belong in the community chat does it?

    I really don't understand your problem. Did you try installing Grub again and letting it "autodetect" your OSes?
