<PRE>andre999 a &#233;crit :

correction :
&gt;<i> It might be because you had your &quot;extended&quot; partition at the beginning 
</I>&gt;<i> of the disk, and MBR disk partitions are numbered with the &quot;primary&quot; 
</I>&gt;<i> partions 1-4 and &quot;extended&quot; 5+.
</I>&gt;<i> Gdisk would normally number in disk order, but I'm not sure because I 
</I>&gt;<i> have always numbered in disk order with the &quot;extended&quot; partition at 
</I>&gt;<i> the end of the disk.  With gdisk it is easy to extend an
</I>I meant &quot;With gparted it is easy to extend an ...
(obviously not gdisk)
&gt;<i> extended partition to the end of disk with gparted (using a live cd 
</I>&gt;<i> such as systemrescueCD).
</I>&gt;<i> You can easily check what partition ordering is with gdisk.  (From 
</I>&gt;<i> systemrescueCD if necessary.)
</I>&gt;<i> In any case, both grub and grub2 can get confused sometimes when 
</I>&gt;<i> partition numbering changes.
</I>&gt;<i> It is only necessary to go into rescue mode on boot (from any Mageia 
</I>&gt;<i> boot cd/dvd, or systemrescueCD), and invoke grub to find the 
</I>&gt;<i> designated boot partition.
</I>&gt;<i> It gives you a grub prompt.  grub has somewhat cryptic but useful help.
</I>&gt;<i> (This may have changed under grub2, but I don't think so.)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Regards :)
