Sorry, a typo from me. When I wrote E4 in my earlier mail, it was
actually E3. There is *no* E4.
The E3 link says its unused. Its start is same as that of the E2 link.

Let me try that then. Let me also try deleting the E3 partition (was
going to anyways).
Question: what do the "link" entries mean btw? :)
Thanks,
Rakhesh
