I set up Rhel v5.5 on my laptop for studies certifications and some test labs.
Today i worked on make partition with command parted , and i make some mistake so i think i delete the Os partition table.
I can't start RHEL anymore even with the Original CD for boot , i try to set up Windows OS via usb not possible same for RHEL (i have also original CD)
I simply want to format my laptop and set up a new version of REDHAT
Now i write the error message;
- Volume group "VolGroupp"not found
Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01)
mount: could not find filesystem ' /dev/root'

Hi Yewutu (or Jean-Steve ?),

Download the GParted ISO file, create a bootable medium, boot from that medium and once you're on the 'Live Desktop', the
GParted (GUI) application starts automatically - create a new partition table, then create a new empty partition and format it
with ext4. Shut down the PC and insert the RHEL installation medium, boot from it and start the installation of the system. :)

Hi Yewutu,

I just responded to a thread from another member about (still) using RHEL 5 and remembered your post ...
What I forgot to say : Please don't install RHEL 5.5 - it is not supported anymore and hence a security risk.

Better install the latest stable point release of RHEL 7, which currently is the 7.5 edition.
By the way ... have you noticed what you have marked as the "Best Response" ? :D :D :D

Regards,
Christian
