Hi I am trying to partition a 10 GB IDE hard disk using the cfdisk that starts up during the debian 2.1 (slink) install.
The problem is, cfdisk thinks the drive is only 8 GB. I've tried <Alt><F2> into another console and then fdisk's "o" command to reset the MBR, followed by "w". When I reboot and restart cfdisk, it still says there are only 8 GB available. If I use partition magic, I can create the partitions as I want them, but then, when I reboot and start the install, cfdisk says the MBR is corrupted "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition." Any suggestions? I tried using just fdisk, BTW, but it also thinks there are only 8 GB on the disk. -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller "<TAG name="windoze" action="bash"></tag>"
