I installed linux on my laptop and when I went to repartition the drive w/ fdisk it said "no fixed disks". What other partitioning program should I be using in order to see that linux partition and repartition it so that I can put win2k back on it. Thanks in advanced.

Partition Magic 8. Works like a champ with Linux partitions..

maybe you should tell us exactly how you went about this. did you just go 'fdisk /dev/hda' and where exactly did the error come up - when you were trying to write the configuration?

Are you using a DOS/Win fdisk? And why put W2K back on it? *g*

Anyway - I've been slicing and dicing my IBM with a combination of cfdisk and parted on Linux and fdisk in DOS - Linux's fdisk wasn't as cool as cfdisk for me. All worked like a charm. Of course, I was being suicidal because I didn't much care if I trashed anything. Just had one tiny partition in the middle of the drive I wanted to preserve, and did. Not so sure I'd be as casual with my HP. Still, cfdisk and parted are cool. Partition Magic is proprietary, isn't it?

partion magic or gnu partes
