Hi all,
This is my first mail to this list. I recently brought
freebsd 4.1 cd and tried to install on my p-3 machine which already has
windows-nt and linux7.0(lilo boot loader).
but the problem is its failing to create a partition.
This is my fdisk partition screen
FDISK PARTION
Disk Geometry 1292 cycls/240 heads/ 63 sector = 1953504 sectors
(9538MB)
OFFSET SIZE END
NAME PTYPE DESC SUBTYPE
0 63
62 -
6 unused 0
63 4173057
4173119 ad0s1 2
fat 6
4173120 4596480 8769599
ad0s2 1
ext2fs 131
8769600 10765440 19535039
ad0s3 4
extended 5
19535040 6048 19541087
- 6
unused 6
when i try to delete the partition with SIZE 6048, it says its unused.
and when i try to create Partion(for SIZE 6048) it simple returns the
same screen without any modification.
please tell me how to solve the problem.
even i tried by allocating the free space to fat type in
windows-nt and then rebooting. it still does not work it shows the same
screen.
Regards
Vasu K.
