Okay, I have a possibly stuffed lappie hard disk that I can not
partition with any of the MS OS's, so I want to create a Linux floppy
and boot off it to be able to run FDISK on the lappie floppy.
Yes, I have tried to install Debian woody, but it barf's continually
when it comes to partitioning the hard disk. Rescue floppies just kernel
panic no matter what I try.
It is a 6Gb (13328/15/63) Hitachi lappie hard disk (pre-used) that I
have had running under another OS in my DEC Multia(Intel). Prior to
installing Debian woody, I cleaned out the partition table with win95
FDisk and now I can not write to the partition table with any thing at
my disposal.
Either the lappie hard disk has finally died, or there is a trick or two
thatI've forgotten over the years.
TIA
