        I had a spare DOS partition lying around gathering dust and so I
        wanted to partition to linux's ext2. Thw first thing I did was to
        launch fdisk and delete the old partition (since I don't need those 
        files). I then added the a linux one in place of it and tried to
        write to the table, but I receive the following error message:


        Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
        Syncing disks.
        Re-read table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy
        Reboot your system to ensure the partition table is updated.

        
        I have Debian booting from /dev/hda3 and the partition I am trying
        to make work is /dev/hda1.

        Does anyone have an idea of how to go about fixing it?

        I appreciate any help!
