and now this :
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/newroot
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/newroot
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt/newroot
ubuntu:/# mount -a
mount: special device /dev/hda6 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda2 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sdb2 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda5 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda8 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb5 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb6 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb7 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb8 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb9 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist
ubuntu:/# sudo mount -a
mount: special device /dev/hda6 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda2 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sdb2 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda5 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hda8 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb5 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb6 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb7 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb8 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/hdb9 does not exist
mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist
ubuntu:/# sudo fdisk -l
ubuntu:/# sudo fdsk -l
sudo: fdsk: command not found
ubuntu:/# sudo fdsk -l
sudo: fdsk: command not found
ubuntu:/#
no output is produced after fdisk -l just a prompt
thanks
