Hi
I just recently got a Dimension XPST600
from Dell
It has a 30Gb hd
I used Partition Magic 4.0 to carve up this mammoth drive. Making sure
there was a partition wholly under 1024 cylinders.
I have tried Suse6.0/6.2 RedHat6.1 they all have a problem with invalid
partition table.
fdisk can't start /dev/hda but will run using fdisk /dev/hda1 my win98
partition
lots of stuff about boundaries.
I can also run fdisk /dev/hda2 my Linux partition.
In the end I deleted all the partitions . Then created them from
scratch. RedHat decided to
call my /dev/hda2 partition /dev/hda5 and then hung trying to write my
96Mb swap fs.
Can anyone give me pointers as to what is going on?
Linux fdisk seems to be confused and so is the MS fdisk.
TIA
Martin Sarosi
