    Cant Format HDD/Partition.

    Im trying to format hda1 so i can do a direct Debian install on it but i am getting these errors.


    from shell

    knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1
    mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
    /dev/hda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
    knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$

    from root konsole

    mkfs.ext2: bad fragment size - ext3

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    It tells you what's wrong does it not?

    Code:
    umount /dev/hda1
    mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
