I know that the extended partition is on wd0s2, because it is reported like that in the fdisk partition editor. The label editor doesn't see it though. mount_msdos gives me this : mount_msdos: /dev/wd0s2: invalid argument -- Pierre-Andre van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer ------------------------------------------------------------- |E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com | Nanoteq (Pty) Ltd. | |Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 | Specialists in data security | -------------------------------------------------------------
