While trying to resize the FAT32 partition on my dual booting ,machine, I think I changed the start of the partition from something grater than zero to zero and now it can't be mounted or booted.
I'm tempted to bring on norton or something like that, or maybe fdisk /mbr on the rescue floppy but I thought I'd give the experts here a workout first
fsck /dev/hdb1
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
WARNING: bad format on line 21 of /etc/fstab
dosfsck 2.10, 22 Sep 2003, FAT32, LFN
Logical sector size is zero.
root@toybox:~# fdisk -l /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb3 2612 4012 11253532+ 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Linux still works fine, from lilo.
I'll be trying out gpart. In the meantime thanks for any advice.
