i used ultraiso in a windows system to make a bootable gparted drive. > please check this for more info on creating a bootable gparted disk. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php
and this for how to use gparted. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html OR follow these instructions step by step: 1. Boot live 2. startup terminal 3. type sudo su (to become root) 4. type "fdisk -l" without quotes 5. you will see something like /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1 etc. 6. remember those names. 7. run this command each time for /dev/sda# "mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda#" put the respective number in place of #. 8. be careful to put the correct device names. generally sda# are intenal/primary disks which are followed by sdb#, sdc# as external drives. but double check it. Hope it helps. And, dont get frustruated. Most of us have gone through this at beginning of our linux journey. :D -- Avash Mulmi OLPC Volunteer http://support.laptop.org/ -- FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] Mailing List Guidelines: http://wiki.fossnepal.org/index.php?title=Mailing_List_Guidelines Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/
