Can we solve this hdc problem ?
« on: December 10, 2010, 02:15:55 AM »
After installing w2k and TC2.5 on a HDD, the w2k partiotion was designated the hdc1 name instead of the normal hda1 and the cdrom is installed on /dev/hdc (and /mnt/hdc) as per fstab.
But now whenever try to access cdrom , '/mnt/hdc already mounted or /mnt/hdc busy' message is flagged off .
I try to change /mnt/hdc to /mnt/cdrom making a new /mnt/cdrom dire. but no use !
How to rectify this problem. Any pointer to this problem ?
Thnks !

I had tried :
'fdisk -l /dev/hd*'
using another linux distro, it showed partition table OK,
But fdisk thru TC2.5 lists 4 partitions with 'partition bounderies not ending properly' etc message.
I formated the HDD, and now everything is OK.
Thnks a lot to tinypoodle !
