Hi folks,

I created a customized Lucid image and installed on my computer which has 1 hard drive (/dev/sda)
When I booted up .. it gave me an error indicating "Multiple active partitions" ... and did not boot up ...

I used my live CD and run as live session to check on the hard drive, When I issued the command
fdisk -l on an terminal , the out put indicated that only /dev/sda1 is bootable, and other /dev/sda* were
not bootable ...

I am not sure why I got the "Multiple active partitions" message at boot up time ... Any suggestion where to look at ?

Thanks

Dang

I have found the problem ...
I repeated the sfdisk command manually which already ran when
creating partition (option bootable check box default to be cheched).

Thanks
