Sorry for all the comments (squeaky wheel, hehe). Also you might want to notice that the drive sizes are listed differently between cfdisk/fdisk and gparted. I think therein lies a clue. The ONLY software that refuses to correctly report the drive capacity and the partition table so far is gparted and the ubuntu installer. This is with the 32-bit installer. Haven't tried the 64-bit, nor would I really care to be honest. Athlon64-3000,sis raid180 serial ata, with the not so hot, not so bad sis (740?) AMD64 chipset. Any input would be appreciated as I really don't know where to begin to look when the core utilities and the kernel are giving me the results I would expet................
Ok, so I just open parted from the command line, and here is what I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb GNU Parted 1.8.9 Using /dev/sdb Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print Error: Can't have overlapping partitions. well.... I created the table with the 8.04 installer...why the hell would I have overlapping partitions now? Any way I could fix this? I could grow the NTFS partition the encompass the whole disk and then just shrink it......IF gparted worked.... Don't tell me I'm going to have whip out the trusty partition magic. what is this the year 2000 again? -- Intrepid Ibex installer does not recognize partition table on SATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
