After clearpart --all, did you give your partition info like: part /boot --size 16 --ondisk hda (No number after hda) What Redhat version are you using?

Using disk druid, you must assign a name to the partitions even though it sees the partitions. Edit the partition, and add a mount point (/boot, /usr, etc.), and you don't need to change the swap partition. > > > Thanks for the help! > > part /boot --size 16 --onpart hda1 > part swap --size 512 --onpart hda2 > part /usr --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --onpart hda5 > part /usr/local --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --onpart hda6 > part / --size 100 --onpart hda7 > part /var --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --onpart hda8 > part /home --size 1000 --grow --onpart hda9 > part /fofdata --size 3000 --grow --onpart hdb1
