Don't know what to do and restore my old OLD :(

First, why download an old version if a new one is out? The current version is 6.7. Once downloaded you have an iso file. You then use a tool like infrarecorder (or another CD burning utility that can burn iso files to CD's) to burn the iso to a CD:

http://infrarecorder.org/

Use the "Write Image" option.

Then you boot the server with that CD.

You then should get into a GUI. On that GUI there is an icon called "Partition Editor". Double Click that to start it. Then you should be able to select your HD and see the partitions. Just select the one that would be the OS partition, right click on it, select "Manage Flags" and set the "boot flag" to on. After that reboot the server without the CD.

@rindi:

so which version ur recommending ? you have any website where i can down fast ??? please ...

Thanks

rindi

Always the newest version, so 6.7. Just get it from the downloads section in the Link I posted, it is the first file mentioned (as it is a zip file you must when it has been downloaded, unpack the zip file to get an iso file). As it is a small distro the download shouldn't take long, and sourceforge who hosts the files looks automatically for the best download source for your location.

im in partition Editor but there is one partition showing "unallocated" my full hard-disk

rindi

Ar you using RAID? If yes, what RAID controller is it? Do you see several HD's when you select the drives drop down within partition editor (that's on the right side of the tool, where there is a drive icon and something like /dev/xxx). What do those drives show up as?

no im not using raid ... just a simple server with 2 hard disks and i unplug other harddsk so there is only one hard disk 160GB

rindi

Click on the drive icon in Partition Editor, make a picture of it and attach it.
