Help with Disk Druid

Post by Hue Jas » Tue, 09 Feb 1999 04:00:00



I'm trying to install Redhat 5.2 along side Win98.  I have one 11.5 GB hard
drive with the following partitions:

C: PRI DOS, 100 MB, FAT16
EXT DOS, 10891 MB

Within my extended DOS partition, I have one Logical Drive:

D: 6400 MB, FAT32  59%

I should have 41% free for more logical drives.  I have Win98 installed on
D: and am using C: for a boot partition (Win98 boot files are on C:).  When
I run Disk Druid, it shows the following:

hda
Total 10991
Used 10991
Free 0

hda1
100 MB

hda2
10891 MB

Shouldn't hda2 be 6400?  I want to create hda3, hda4, hda5, etc... in the
unused portion of the Extended partition.  However, when I try to I get the
following error:

There are currently unallocated partitions presesnt in the list of requested
partitions.  Not Enough Free Space.

I also tried creating more DOS partitions using FDISK in DOS.  But, when I
run Disk Druid, they don't show up.  Is it not possible to install Redhat to
logical drives in the extended DOS partition?  Help.

-Thanks

Oh, never mind.  I just checked back here to see if anyone had responded,
and upon rereading my post, I realized that my EXT DOS partition is not
supposed to be 10891 MB.  Duh.  I ran Partition Magic, resized it, and Disk
Druid now lets me add other partitions.

It's been a while since I've had to*around with this stuff.  Please
excuse the dumb question :)

Hello All,
I am trying to install rh5.1. I get to the "Disk Setup" screen and
select "Disk Druid". This is where i am stuck. The screen reads:

                     hda1          129M           129M         DOS

                     hda2          120M           120M         DOS

hda           [ 842/ 16/38]       249M      249M      0

Then i click to edit a new partition and i can't get anything i type in
