If you want a more valid non-diskdrake tool, try parted.

This is my partition table, and if you look at hda12 you see that that doesn't look right. I made that with diskdrake but now i want to delete it and that doesn't seem to work because fdisk core dumped itself before writing the partition-table.

Civileme DUH. why do you think i wanted to delete it. hda12 was not yet used space which i wanted to use. Partition was made with diskdrake for your information. ps Maximale bestandsgrootte overschreden means something like bigger than maximum filsize reached
