Hi folks,
On a 800 Mb disk, I had two partition: /dev/hda1 was a 300mb OS/2 partition, and
/dev/hda2 was a 500 mb Linux native partition. I would like to remove completely the
OS2 partition and create instead a Linux partition. Firstly, if I do 'fdisk', I do not
know how I can 'format' /dev/hda1 ! I tried to delete it, but then, when I create a
new one, do I have to choose 'extended' or 'primary' type (I guess it is extended, but
not sure) ? Then, when I write the information about the partition table, it says
something bad, that it was not capable of creating it, this kind of thing. I tried
also 'mkfs -t ext2', but then it says that I do not have enough space ! My disk space
available is 307 blocks however !
I am completely lost. I guess I have to do something before creating anything, but
don't know what. Somebody help me ??
thanks in advance.
Alain.
