- You have a piece of disk empty between Windows and say Swap
( typical situation after you had reduced Windows partitions )
- You select the empty space,
- You click on "Create",
- A MsgBox appears that says something like ( I'm translating )
"The partitions have been renumbered"
"Partition hda5 is now known as hda6"
"Partition hda6 is now known as hda7"
and so on ..
- Click on OK
The partitions display correctly
now lets format this new partition
- You select the newly created partition: hda5
- Click on "Format"
...
Congratulation: You wanted to format your new
hda_5_ patition ? You've just damaged your hda_6_ partition !!
I can reproduced the problem. on Mdk 9.1 and cooker as well
Don't let it go on 9.2 final, thanks
