Slackware noob, probs with partitioning
ok... its probably a stupid mistake...
but when I try to install slackware and delete/create a partition with cfdisk or fdisk it doesn't detect my harddrive It currently has windows server on it but i wanna get rid of windows. There is only 1 hard drive currently hooked up, it does detect it, and will boot up normally without the slackware cd, into windows server. its an intel celeron (tiger direct special :) ) should i try using some other linux distro to delete and partition it and then try installing slackware or is it probably something else? and yes i tried fdisk /dev/hda and cfdisk /dev/hda so yeah thank you in advance for any help :) |
Did you type p at the fdisk prompt after you did fdisk /dev/hda? This should display details of all the partitions on your drive. You then type d to delete a partition, type n to create one.

Hi, What type HD, ide or scsi? What is the output of; Code:
#fdisk -l #list the disk |
ok, well apparently i just didn't know how to use fdisk / cfdisk and i didn't know it actually had the hd on hde instead of hda, it was an ide drive, and have it partitioned and everything now to mark 1 as swap and start actual setup
Thanks for the help (oh and sorry thought i had said it was an ide in the original post, but thanks :) ) |
