Colinux detect your image as file.
For using partions should start with "\Device".

hda6=3D\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6
hda5=3D\Device\Harddisk0\Partition5
root=3D/dev/hda6

The "Partition 3    Erweitert" is not counted under the windows Syntax=20
\Device\HarddiskX\PartitionY. I think, but not shure.

Extended partion should not count under Windows.
Try this:
hda6=3D\Device\Harddisk0\Partition5
hda5=3D\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4

Other idea:
Download a debian or other small image, set all your partions to a cobd=20
or hda alias, boot colinux from image file, try to mount any of the=20
partion, look into mounted partion to find the right number.

--=20
