- Your 3rd partition is unuseable from your 2nd unix partition, since it
- is a "hard" parition not a soft partition as is used for filesystems
- within a partition, and it's not the first and MSDOS partition.
-
- If you wish to access the space you will need to repartition the 2nd
- and 3rd as one, and then restore.
