using qtparted to repartition

[Ryan450]

hey gang,

I want to use knoppix to build myself a custom linux system, but right now I need to wipe clear my current linux partitions and create a new partition scheme... right now I have all my partitons under one extended partition. I just want to delete the extended partition and all the partitions inside it. Create a new extended partition with these new ones

/
/swap
/home

.. Every time I move to delete the extended partition with qtparted it claims that it is currently mounted.. when I type in mount in my terminal none of those mounts show as mounted :S.. any ideas?

If qtparted is not working & since it sounds like you know about partitioning, try cfdisk.
sudo cfdisk /dev/hda
If that fails then post your mount and fdisk -l output.
