Oh, you have a WARP4 system that is NOT already LVM aware. eCS can't 
see a partiton! It sees only volumes. To get it to see what you have 
is to fire up LVM (or minilvm) from the eCS CD and use that to "create 
volume from existent partiton" for all partitons you needs to access 
from eCS CD. This will do nothing than to extend the partiton 
informations on the HD with volume information, making the volumes 
visible to eCS. After LVM "exit with write" you can access anything on 
the disk and then boot again your WARP4.

While you on that you may even replace the WARP4 BM weith the one in 
eCS LVM.

This will NOT affect any data on disk - but prepares the disk for eCS.

To see existent partitons in LVM you have to change to "physical view" 
(press F5 to switch between physical and logical view in LVM)). To 
create volumes you needs to be in logical view anyway.

You should know what F1 is for.
