    I made the partitions with fdisk. All partitions on both hard drives 
are made with fdisk. It happens that this one is a problem at /dev/sda5 
and for some reason when I try to load hardy onto /dev/sda6 it fails to 
complete, not making a grub. I have 2 copies of hardy LiveCD that do that.

    Here are both hard drives according to fdisk:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00056ea5

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1         974     7823623+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2             975        1948     7823655   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            1949        2192     1959930   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4            2193        5599    27366727+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5            2193        4625    19543041   83  Linux
/dev/sda6            4626        5599     7823623+  83  Linux

and

Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0009c343

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1        1219     9791586   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda2   *        1220        1360     1132582+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda3            1361        1970     4899825   83  Linux

/dev/hda5            1971        7071    40973751   83  Linux
/dev/hda6            7072        7085      112423+  83  Linux
/dev/hda7            7086        8961    15068938+  83  Linux
/dev/hda8            8962       10123     9333733+  83  Linux
/dev/hda9           10124       12556    19543041   83  Linux


    I see changes in the Extended of both hard drives. When I made them 
they went clear out to 19457 cylinders, but now fdisk makes them appear 
wrong. Or they changed. What is going on here?
