Hi,
I installed Debian on a machine with several other pations (window,
RH9.1, etc). During the installation, it indicated one of my linux
partition had some problems (it is formated by ext3, but can only write
to the disk with used space only higher than 70%). Now I am going to fix
that partition before I am going to mount it to Debian. Also, I am no
longer need to use MS window and I am going to remove all window
partitions. I know it is risk operation and I need to take advice here
before I delete or alter the partitions.
Should I use fdisk to remove the window partition or if there is a
better partition tool I can use in Debian?
Can I remove the window partition from Linux?
Is there a partition tool in Debian which can detect the ext3 partition
problem and to fix it without re-format or re-partition?
Also, I have only one window OS, but I don't k now why both hda1 and
hda2 are for window partitions, can I delete both of them? Please see
following partition information and the debian boot is in Master section.
sudo fdisk -l
