hi db it seems that your partition table is already fscked up ... i would suggest *really* zapping the boot sector (usually sector 1) that contains partition and booting info about your disk.
to delete info on your boot sector as if your disk is new, boot on rescue mode: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=100000 where /dev/hda should be replaced with your device. i dont know how many blocks/sector so to make it safe i use count=100000. usually that does it for me. after zapping the boot sector, recreate the partitions and reformat. hth dm =) --- db <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have been struggling with getting two linux's > (Mandrake 8.1 & RH 5.1) set > up on my machine and have been back and forth so > many times on the > partitioning of this drive that apparently I filled > up the partition table > or something ... it won't let me finish any > partitioning now ...when I try > to go to the formatting stage following diskdrake, > its gives me an error > message: > raw_add: partition table full.
