It looks like you don't have a partition number 11 on your hard disk.

Try getting a listing of available partitions:

Code:

fdisk -l

hmm... according to that you don't have a hard disk on your primary IDE connector AND the hard disk you do have doesn't have a partition number 11. So there is no reason why it should be possible to create a file systems on partition 11 of the primary master!

well WHAT SHOULD I TYPE FOR THAT BIT?

It depends what you want to achieve.
