Hi, I have been creating a small (300MB) primary /boot partition at the beginning of the disk for as long as I can remember... That is after disks got to be too big for the BIOS to reach all of the disk to be able to boot from a file anywhere on the disk. So far so good, that still works but

Calculating optimal disk partitions

Good morning all, I am trying to add a partition to the unused space on a hard drive. Using parted, I keep getting "Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance." There is not a whole lot of explanation out there that explains the calculations necessary to deter

questions about disk partitions

Hello all. I was in need of some more hard disk space and so I figured I'd reclaim some of the unused space in my rarely used XP partition. XP is located on hda1. I resized hda1 from 35GB to 15GB using ntfsresize leaving ~20GB of free space, but I can't create a new partition since I've already g

Re: Help straightening out disk partitions. SOLVED

Faced with the possibility of having to start over, I booted my knoppix CD and made a partimage for the linux and moved the audio data off the partition. I used fdisk to delete the fat partition. QTparted would still not read the disk so I did everything in fdisk, leaving the original linux part

Help straightening out disk partitions.

I installed a new hard disk and freed up area on the disk used for linux. I used qtparted to delete a now unneeded vfat32 partition and wanted to enlarge a remaiing fat32 partition used for storing audio data and then add in the remaining freed up space several ext3 partitions to move stuff off

Re: disk partitions

Hi David, It's more or less under the first 500 MB. You can find more info reading the large-disk-howto, which refers to the affairs of huge disks and old BIOSes (quite nasty problems, to tell you the truth). You can also get more info with Linux's fdisk. Hope that

disk partitions

When creating a multi-boot system I've read that the root directory must be within the first 1024 cylinders on the hard disk. I'm not exactly sure what a cylinder is in relation to a hard disk, and how do you find out if it will fit or not? Thanks, David __

Hello, == oh, and I forgot that you need to REPAIR the win95 MBR... thought you've been having problem installing lilo... Sorry. I think that is rather simple by doing (in dos) 'fdisk /mbr'. However, I'm afraid it erases LILO out of the MBR as well. Everything the best, Peter

disk partitions (part 3) ... :D

Hi ! I've still not solved the partition problem. :-( I've set CHS in the BIOS to 14848 - 9 - 63. But this is "NORMAL" and therefore DOS is in trouble. If I set it to "LBA" and 524 - 255 - 63 I'm having trouble with the MBR because lilo rewrote it (the Win95 version of the MBR) and I don't have
