Hi,
I want to format a unalloated partition in Mandriva linux.

[r...@localhost manimeh]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3
ke2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
mkfs.ext3: inode_size (128) * inodes_count (0) too big for a
        filesystem with 0 blocks, specify higher inode_ratio (-i)
        or lower inode count (-N).

*Please tell me the exact  command*

The following is the output of fdisk


Please tell me the exact  command
[r...@localhost manimeh]# /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 20673 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0cdaffd2

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
