How to partition a Hard Disk
I've bought a new Hard Disk and I want to know how to patition It using both GUI tools and command line tools. I googled for it but they don't give it from the scratch. I wanna know how to set the size, label them etc..

If you want a livecd to boot from and partition, then there's: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php |
Try this:
1. # fdisk -l Note down the device name config (like sda or hda ). 2. # fdisk <device name> Select n for new partition Select cylinders & size 3. # partprobe 4. format the new partition by # mkfs.ext3 <new partition> 5. Mount the new partition to a directory ( mount point) #mount <new partition> <directory>. Hope this helps. |
