Re: [Cooker] Disk Drake problems (good news)

[Sam]

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle- this is too cool.

I went ahead and repartitioned the hard drive using diskdrake. I put the primary
partitions in the same order and same size I had before ( the partitions I wanted
to resize were on the extended partition). After finishing the install, I pulled
the cd out and rebooted. I was going to reinstall win98, but forgot to stick the
floppy in. The computer booted up into Windows! The windows system partition was
still intact and functioning properly! Partition Commander reads the partition
table with no problems.

You guys have a real winner here!

Not yet, I have to download the latest cooker from work where we have a T1
connection. I'm at home sick today.
If disk drake can do that, it'll beat the pants off any other partitioning tool out
there.

If I were you guys, I'd consider putting disk drake on it's own bootable CD for
your commercial packages. That way someone can change partitions easily after
Mandrake is installed.

could you test using cooker? diskdrake has been enhanced and should now be able
to correct buggy partition table.

[Cooker] Disk Drake problems

[Sam]

Hi,

I decided to change my partition setup for Linux and reinstall Mandrake.
Disk drake was the last partitioning tool I'd used and it gave me the
error message, "Diskdrake cannot correctly read the partition table". In
addition, partition commander reported the same problem.

This was the first time this error has been reported out of three runs
with Diskdrake.

The drive is a Maxtor 20GB, 7200rpm IDE ATA33 drive, model 92048D8
The motherboard is an ABIT BH6
