Hello,
I've got a new dell inspiron 9400 with windows installed on it, i've installed fedora 6 on it... srunk the windows partition to 30G and installed fedora on a new partition of 30G I don'r recall deleting the Dell rescue partition but it seems to have gone anyways... I was planning to put Ubuntu on the remaining part of the disk but the installation program does not recognise the partitions on the disk... Also gparted does not recognize these partitions and parted gives me "Error: Can't have overlapping partitions." when I ask it to 'print all'...
the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda gives:
Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 12 3855 30870422 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 3856 3867 96390 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 3868 12161 66621555 5 Extended
/dev/sda4 * 11509 11769 2096451 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda5 3868 3994 1020096 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 3995 7818 30716248+ 83 Linux
does somebody have a clue what is going wrong here??
