Debian can't partition my hard drive: /var/log/syslog (vt4)
 
Dear Linux magicians

When I tried to partition my hard drive for installing Debian Wheezy, I get the error:

For unknown reason it is not possible to change the size of my partition. Check /var/log/syslog or look at he fourth virtual console (VT4)

Obviously I have no idea what this all means, clearly I'am a beginner. Excuse me for my bad English, I'm not a native or regular speaker. I have to install Debian for school...

Kind regards

There are a number of partitioning CDs available, which can be downloaded free. One excellent one can be found at:
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=gparted

It is a live CD with which you can manipulate partitions easily in advance of your Debian installation.
