Re: [newbie] Disk partitioning problem.
Hi, I checked it right now with the win2k Disk Management tool and it says FAT32. I know that Harddrake also says FAT32. Thanks, Seedkum Jeroen v.d.

The following is a description of what I did and what I observed. Hopefully someone can tell me what is going on and how to fix it. I had an NT4 NTFS partition (~1.9 Gig) and a FAT32 partition (~1.9 Gig). I used Harddrake to delete both of them and create a single FAT32 partition out of them (~3.8 Gig). When I looked at the properties of the directory mount point using Konqueror (with the new partition mounted) I saw a size of only ~1.9 Gig! Rebooting did not remove the discrepancy between Harddrake and Konqueror. Harddrake showed no empty (unused) partition. I went and installed win2k on this new FAT32 partition. Win2k did the same thing. Explorer said the drive was ~1.9 Gig but the Disk Management tool said it was ~3.8 Gig. The disk management tool showed no empty (unused) partition, like Harddrake. I hope somebody can make sense out of this. Seedkum Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Sometimes you have to completely reinitialize a disk, I use IIRC dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdx where x is the harddrive, sometimes /dev/hdd or /dev/hde Just make sure it is the right one, been-there and done-that too It takes some time, but thil will completely remove any bad configurations from a disk -- Gerald Waugh Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
