Qparted errors

**manatarms1775** · 04-12-2004, 07:36 AM

When I try to create a partition on the harddrive on which win98se is installed (drive = 12 Gb), I resize the existing partition to allow 5.5 gb free, then create the swap file of 400mb. when I try to commit the process errors and nothing is changed. Can anyone help?

Try doing 1 step at a time. Firstm resize the win98 partition to 4.5 gb. Commit, exit the program, enter again, and create the other partitions.

Try "sudo cfdisk". Is the older partition tool.

It starts up with a Fatal Error message

Fails with qtparted and cfdisk?

You have other options:

- One Windows 2000 Installation disk. One of the first steps is partitioning the disk. After the partitioning is done you could abort the installation
- Use one partition magic floppy disk. Works fine for me (If you can't find one I can send you one image)
- Find the hard disk manufacturer site and download some low level format tools
