Starting mandrake10 takes 5-10 minutes. Boot hangs in this for minutes:

You may also want to examine your /etc/fstab file. This file contains a list of all mounted partitions and their file system types. Maybe some partition got shifted and its now attempting to load a NTFS file system from a linux partitions or something like that.. Run diskdrake to get a visual display of your partition layout..

That isnt telling anything. Im totally n00b with linux. :unsure:

Well, each entry is used by linux to load a file system. It defines the partition location, the type of file system (ext3, ntfs, reiserfs, etc) and additional parameter information such as permissions.

 

Remember, you can google this board and of course google.com for terms such as partitioning and fstab and learn rapidly.

 

So look at win_d2. Located at hdc5 and mounted into the file system at location /mnt/win_d2 (this is a actually a folder) as an NTFS file system. The IDE controller board in your computer supports 2 IDE devices (hard drive, cd writer, whatever) each. So, the first board's devices are going to be HDA and HDB. If you have a second IDE board, those devices are going to be HDC and HDD (or some variant based on the device).

 

The question is what would happen if fstab thinks hdc5 is NTFS, but in actuality it is ext3 (linux file system)? It's gonna have an issue because it tries to mount it with the NTFS keyword and logic.

 

If you have linux up and running, you can open a command terminal and type

 

diskdrake

 

or, if you don't have it up and running,

 

you can start up your PC with the Mandrake Install CD. Do an install and when you get to the partitioning screen, you can select CUSTOM install.

 

Now you should be looking at a visual image of your hard drive(s). Compare the file system types to what your fstab file states and make sure they match.

Those seems to be in right order
