you ARE doing this from a LiveCD....yes ?

Yes , I am doing this form a Live CD.

Quote:

If not - boot to LiveCD using Knoppix26 1

Which version 26 1 is ? Is it same as V4 ?

Quote:

Which HDD are you having trouble with ???

I can not create an extended partition on any one of these hard disks,,,I want to learn how to create an extended partition (for future use,,,because right now I have alreday created one).

and also post the output of

I will be glad to do that, But if I want to learn how to create an extended partition, do I need to provide the output ?

1. I asked for cfdisk output - not parted
2. I asked which disk .....both, you say ? ok - HDD #2 already has too many primary partitions, but if you answer #1, i may have a better answer ..*if* you tell me "what" it looked like "before" system commander

3. Yes !

i have no idea which version of knoppix you are using ....:cry:

'knoppix 1' will boot to kernel 2.4 at runlevel1 - text mode, no GUI, logged in as root
'knoppix26 1' will boot to kernel 2.6 at runlevel1 - text mode, no GUI, logged in as root

OH.....BTW -- if you're trying for a Win95/98 Extended partition, the ID = 0x0F

I have not noticed the above before, I have just read it. I think this was my problem, I used to use 0x05, see the code below.

What is the difference between 0x05 and 0x0F ?

Code:

01 FAT12 4F QNX4.x 3rd part A8 Darwin UFS 02 XENIX root 50 OnTrack DM A9 NetBSD 03 XENIX usr 51 OnTrack DM6 Aux1 AB Darwin boot 04 FAT16 <32M 52 CP/M B7 BSDI fs 05 Extended 53 OnTrack DM6 Aux3 B8 BSDI swap 06 FAT16 54 OnTrackDM6 BB Boot Wizard hidden 07 HPFS/NTFS 55 EZ-Drive BE Solaris boot 08 AIX 56 Golden Bow BF Solaris 09 AIX bootable 5C Priam Edisk C1 DRDOS/sec (FAT-12) 0A OS/2 Boot Manager 61 SpeedStor C4 DRDOS/sec (FAT-16 < 0B W95 FAT32 63 GNU HURD or SysV C6 DRDOS/sec (FAT-16) 0C W95 FAT32 (LBA) 64 Novell Netware 286 C7 Syrinx 0E W95 FAT16 (LBA) 65 Novell Netware 386 DA Non-FS data 0F W95 Ext'd (LBA) 70 DiskSecure Multi-Boo DB CP/M / CTOS / ... 10 OPUS 75 PC/IX DE Dell Utility 11 Hidden FAT12 80 Old Minix DF BootIt 12 Compaq diagnostics 81 Minix / old Linux E1 DOS access

1. I asked for cfdisk output - not parted

I am going to delete these partitions and create new partitions by using cfdisk (for practicing create extended primary),,,,This is the output for cfdisk

Code:

Partition Table for /dev/hda ---Starting--- ----Ending---- Start Number of # Flags Head Sect Cyl ID Head Sect Cyl Sector Sectors -- ----- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----------- ----------- 1 0x80 1 1 0 0x07 254 63 1023 63 30716217 2 0x00 254 63 1023 0x0C 254 63 1023 30716280 6136830 3 0x00 254 63 1023 0x07 254 63 1023 36853110 41303115 4 0x00 0 0 0 0x00 0 0 0 0 0

And for fdisk -l as well.

Code:

root@1[knoppix]# fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40016019456 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1912 15358108+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 1913 2294 3068415 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda3 2295 4865 20651557+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

[ snipped ]

No - it's not what I asked for :) ....that was the "TABLE" output of cfdisk you posted - my earlier post shows you what you should paste.......No worry though ;) it's not important anymore.

Good job -- we can see the file system types

Quote:

V4

as in
4.0 ?
4.0.1?
4.0.2?
CD or DVD ? .....meh nevermind, any Knoppix 4.x version will auto boot 2.6 kernel (that's why I asked -- for ex; Knoppix 3.6 will boot 2.4 normally, but you can make it boot 2.6 using the bootcode linux26 or knoppix26)

cfdisk and extended primary option (0x05)

You already have an extended partition on this drive. Only one extended partition is allowed.

I had created that partition by using system commander not cfdisk utility,,,

Quote:

You are right, I am aware of that.

Quote:

No - it's not what I asked for

I followed these steps:

Code:

$ sudo cfdisk then select -> Print then select -> Table anyfilename (leave it blank)

V4.0.1 CD.

doh! :o ....you are right! My apologies...I've been doing -s-o- many things at once, I forget the specifics between different forums/users, and / or get confused sometimes . I guess I "originally" asked for it that way to see if you indeed had an 0x05 entry, or an 0x0f, or 0x0c like I have for hda1 (0c) and hda2 (0f) -- I tried bolding that entry with the tags, but it seems [b ][/b ] isn't working in this forum while "within" [code ] tags.

Quote:

V4.0.1 CD.

Excellent ;)
BTW - I've seen that error before (on my box) with one of these Linux disk utilities -- it's just the drive translation thing -- I don't "think" it's anything to be too concerned about

I was about to ask you the same question, but I received your quoted above, then I realized , may be we can not use bold phrase within code

Code, by it's very nature, would want to show all of the bracketed things that get processed by the display routines otherwise.
That way, I can tell someone if they want to include a link to an external site they should use a format like this:

Code:

You can search for that yourself here.

and the result will be:
You can search for that yourself here.

You're right Harry....
AFAIK -- It (code tags) are meant to maintain the ASCII output, using a monospace font
I should have used the "quote" tags (and must be thinking of this elsewhere) - to set apart and box any needed bolded commands, etc..
