Hello:

I am trying to use the Knoppix 3.9 CD to resize a 360 GB drive of Dell P4 Dual Processor Machine.

The Knoppix CD works fine and finds all devices. It works!

But when I use QTPARTED or fdisk or cfdisk, the hard drive cannot be found. They all show nothing, no partitions, nothing.

One message I get from fdisk is "you will not be able to write to the partition table. sector size is 2048 (not 512). device contains neither valid partition table nor Sun, SGI, or OSF.

This isn't Knoppix' fault. But, what is happening here. This is a brand new machine, and windows is running on the partition. But nothing shows up with the Knoppix CD.

Please help me find a workaround.

Regards,

Angelo
