------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-25-09 13:33 ------- It would help if you could at least post the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/hdX', otherwise it is impossible to visualise what has happened. Anyway, note that diskdrake will likely have wanted to create more than one partition, so it would have to put them in the extended partition. This might end you up with an overlapping extended paritition (which the fdisk output will show). Anyway, if you need to do this kind of thing often, and you have more than a simple setup, use diskdrake in expert mode. When I have 13 partitions (as on my home machine), I don't trust any automated partitioning tool ... but diskdrake in expert mode does what I want ... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I just installed MDK 9.2-rc2 on a system with more Linux and Windows partitions on it. I used the "split my Windows partition" option to split hda2 among Windows and MDK. There was no hda3, but hda4 was extended and had several more partitions. Diskdrake correctly allocated new partitions and even worked close-to-intuitive, but it did manage to renumber partitions 5 and up, so that other installations got frustrated. I suppose it was the intention to avoid that, having seen that the new partitions are allocated high-end numbers (hda11, hda12).
