HELP (again)

[Carl Parrish]

Yes I updated the motherboard. If I do an upgrade will it delete my
partitions. Also the box was running RHat 6.2 and the only disk I can seem
to find is RHAT 7.0 since the new motherboard has USB connections I kind of
want to switch to 7.0 anyways but when I get to diskduird <sp?> non of my
partitions are labled (even though I *know* I named them). Can I just go
though without formating any of my partitions?
