Bellies Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) Hi, I previously had 2 windows partion on the same HD as linux, Mandrake 10.0 detected these no problems but now I have merged these 2 windows partitions and Mandrake has not removed the old partition, but still allows access to the current windows partition. I have gone into Diskdrake to try to remove but of course it does not show up as a partition. So how do I remove the partition from the mnt file which starts on boot. I know I need to remove the entry from a certain file but can't remember which one. :unsure: NB: I had to edit the file when I was running RedHat 7.3 because it didn't detect the partition Thanks Edited February 8, 2005 by Bellies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
