Hi other than my unasnwered kword problem ... what is the ebst way to resize a partition and make another one?
I have parted and started it up and got this message: (snip: GPL junk) Using /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc Error: The partition table on /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc is inconsistent. There are many reasons why this might be the case. However, the most likely reason is that Linux detected the BIOS geometry for /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc incorrectly. GNU Parted suspects the real geometry should be 4870/255/63 (not 77622/16/63). You should check with your BIOS first, as this may not be correct. You can inform Linux by adding the parameter ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc=4870,255,63 to the command line. See the LILO or GRUB documentation for more information. If you think Parted's suggested geometry is correct, you may select Ignore to continue (and fix Linux later). Otherwise, select Cancel (and fix Linux and/or the BIOS now). Ignore/Cancel? is using parted the best way or is there a simple safe alternative?
