Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 13 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 13 19458 156185600 7 HPFS/NTFS

Hmmm this looks normal. So we need to look at the next few sectors to see why gparted choked on them.

Quote:

"Sectors" is not a text file.
How to I handle that, please?

Open terminal, do this in /root:

Code:

gzip -9 sectors

and upload the resulting sectors.gz here.

Btw - I'm not sure whether Fluppy has the command gdisk (I'm not running Fluppy now). If it has, can you do the command also:

Code:

gdisk -l /dev/sda

cheers!
