Help! During an install that broke just after partitioning, I managed to
create an invulnerable partition.
If I try to reinstall (Redhat 6.0), disk druid tell me
"error reading partiion table for block device hdb. no such
file or directory" . it then insists that I skip that drive.
Within DOS or WINDOWS, fdisk reads the partition table, and reports an
extended DOS partition with no logical drives defined. If I try to remove
that extended partition, it reports that it cannot remove an extended
partition with logical drives on it. (This is the same partition which
had no logical drives...). FIDSK sees the primary DOS partition without
any trouble.
If I try to remove it as a non-DOS partition, I am told by fdisk that
there are no non-DOS partitions present.
FIPS won't touch it because it looks like an extended partition.
Can someone out there tell me how to get Linux to access this disk and
remove the partition. I had previously put a swap and native linux partition
in that area, but Linux wont even access the disk.
Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this is a FAQ that I missed.
