  I have a problem with a computer that has a 20 GB IDE harddisk.
  The problem is that Diskdrake doesn't recognize it's partitions. I know this
  has to do with a limit at about 7.8 GB if I remember right...
 
 no such limit under linux. Can you give the error message *and* the partition
 table?
I don't know why, but in Beta 1 it didn't work.
Now it works !

[Cooker] Problem with fdisk

2000-09-13 Thread Michael Stucki

Hi all,
I have a problem with a computer that has a 20 GB IDE harddisk.
The problem is that Diskdrake doesn't recognize it's partitions. I know this
has to do with a limit at about 7.8 GB if I remember right...
But: When I have a running system, I see that fdisk has the same problems, but
"mount" can handle all partitions on this drive without any problems.
There are two more fdisk-like programs in Mandrake: cfdisk and sfdisk.
cfdisk has the same problems as fdisk has. But: sfdisk lists all partitions
correct !!!
So now I ask you, why can't Diskdrake use the routines of sfdisk to read the
partition table???

Thank you for doing this.

Michael
