Have you tried running it as root? I'm not sure if it's needed but in case it is... You might also try cfdisk. I seem to remember that once I had a problem with seeing the partitions with fdisk but cfdisk worked, though I'm not absolutely sure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
