is this fdisk of linux? (i can not use it becouse I cannot boot the
linux debian)


when using "fdisk -l" with the fdisk of Dos it says: "parameter
format not correct"




But if it is what you said:

"boot partition must be located in the first 540 megabytes of the
hard drive"

Can that be the problem of the LILO or GRUB problem?

and what Must I do to fix this?
