Hi,

My system is messed up after installing RedHat GRUB Boot Loader.

In Win 2000/XP, how do I identify the Partition Number for a
particular Drive?

For example:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) belongs to which drive letter?

-or-

I have many logical drives (D:, E:, F:, G:, H:). How do I know the
Partition Number to which a drive letter belongs to?

Regards,
Kamlesh

Click to expand...

It is the one in the first slot of the partition table, which is not
directly much help, unless you use a third party tool like BootIT NG to
look at the partition table,

If you Set the BIOS to boot CD before Hard Disk. Boot the XP CD and,
instead of Setup, take the immediate R for Repair. Assume any password
requested is blank, and TAB over.

and give
diskpart
list partition
it will give a list of partitions which you can probably identify (by
size if nothing else) with the value of n for each
exit
to leave diskpart

The above partition usually belongs to C: (the first partition on the
disk). Only Disk Manager will tell you what drive letters they belong
to, they don`t necessarily go in alphabetical order.
