assigned to installer My guess is that you have assigned the 4 primary partitions that you are allowed to have on an Intel machine. Look at the output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda" (assumming that this is the master drive on the primary IDE chain, otherwise substitute the appropriate device name) If you see that partitions 1-4 are all "real" partitions, that is none of them are of type "extended", then this is your problem. You need to create an extended partition from one of the partition already there. This will allow you to create a multitude of other partitions within the extended partition. Reopen this bug if you continue to have problems after checking the existing partition table. Would the extended partition take up space on the hardrive and how might I got about doing this. |
