I always use the default diskdruid to name and format the partitions already on the hard drive, but have never made or resized them with it. So that should be all right. Maybe someone els can shed light on your problem? -- Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unhewn marble of great sculpture.

I don't know what partitioning tool that you used. But some time ago i installed Debian, and had a lot of trouble with the partition, because i used not fdisk or whatever. I used the other one that comes with the distro. It was not a success. I was sent emails showing that with certain disks the partitioning tool I used was flawed. I dropped Debian. With Partition magic I worked on the partitiuon, but it was not easy to get that partition on the hard drive back to something that could be worked with. Sorry that I can't be more specific, but I always use partition magic to make any partition. I thought I wrote it down somewhere, but can't locate it. The information about it is on the web apparently though, because that is where the information that was sent to me was sourced. Maybe google for the information? I can't do it for you because I can't recall what it is called. csfdisk or something? Charlie. -- Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unhewn marble of great sculpture.

Re: [expert] Certainly too late to report...
I always use fdisk CLI to create the partitions needed, and mount them in the GUI-app from the installation-process. I never experienced any problems with this. In expert-mode there should be an option to use fdisk, isn't it ? Steven Sorry that I can't be more specific, but I always use partition magic to make any partition.
