It is really not worth doing a shell and returning. When you change the partition configuration, you must reboot for the changes to take effect. After the reboot you end up back in the installer. It will see that you now have a usable partition setup and will skip that stage. It will then prompt to format the empty partition to make it usable. Unless you want to run a long slow full format, there is no need to exit the installer or leave normal mode for that. > > > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-user mailing list > Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
