Multiple unpartitioned spaces...

RoaCh Of DisCor · 12-09-2004, 07:43 PM

I seem to be having some trouble with something. I'm trying to combine these unpartitioned spaces into one big partition (3 of them)...but can't. All I can seem to do, is format and delete them...but no matter what I do, I cannot combine them together.. Anyone know why, and how to fix this?

Thanks.

A partition must be contiguous. If they are three separate spaces then the spaces are not contiguous and cannot be combined.

contiguous? What do you mean? They we're ... at one point in time all combined, but I've repartitioned several times. Never have I had this problem.

"They we're ... at one point in time all combined"

But they are no longer combined. You can use fdisk to list out a map of your partitions. Assuming that you are talking about /dev/hda then:
fdisk -l /dev/hda

Okay, thanks...that does list them

.

How would I go about making them "contiguous" or whatever, and combining them once again?
