Wow I'm sure evryone is pumped to see another newbie posting an issue about a hard drive partioning debacle
here's my issue:
I am trying to install knoppix 4.0.2 onto my hard drive
i ran sudo knoppix-installer
hard drive rqmn'ts were not met
i HAD one big primary partition formated as an ntfs
i deleted it using qtparted and commited...
then i tried to create one big extended partition containing 4 logical drives...i marked the first as bootable
after committing i rebooted and now i am unable to access the /dev/hda using qtparted, cfdisk, or fdisk
critical error when trying to read the partition table with any of these programs....
have i rendered my hard drive useless??
:oops:
if not...how can i start over??
