My laptop has /dev/hda1 (windoz), /dev/hda5 (Linux), and /dev/hda6 (Linux swap), and 20GB unpartitioned.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 58605120 hda 3 1 12610993 hda1 3 2 1 hda2 3 5 19535008 hda5 3 6 497983 hda6 I want to create a FAT32 partition in the unpartitioned part of the disk. I though I'd use fdisk but I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fdisk /dev/hda Unable to open /dev/hda Googling is not helping much. Any hint appreciated. Thanks.
