Lost Partition

[Engineer @ THX1138]

Daniel,

Worked like a charm. I actually love YDL, but the OS9/10 combo for my
powerbook is the best use of realestate and keeps my superiors happy, since
they don't like alter-ego OS's.

If you guys at YDL can think of a diplomatic way to let Apple Support know
what you know, that'd be a good idea. Apple tech support wrote me that the
only way to recover was a full system back up, repartition and setup and
recovery from media.

Thanks so much, life saver.

BR

I take it that the first 5-9 partitions are for OS9 (it requires them), the
next one for OSX, and the next 3 or more for YDL, optionally followed by
free space. Type 'sudo pdisk' under OSX Terminal, and delete the 3 YDL ones,
then create (still with OSX pdisk) a third HFS+ one. Next, give the command
'sudo autodiskmount' and follow the dialog boxes.
