Re: good partitioning program needed

The fdisk program on a oralux 6.2 CD can fdisk an 80 Gb drive. I know, I've done it about a million times in my job. So if you need to repartition a drive, I would use oralux.

Hello!

My fdisk can only take about 50 gigabyte of my hard drive.

Don't know really why.

What version of fdisk are you using?
Could you e-mail it please?

I suggest you first install 98 and just make sure that you tell it to only use the first lets say 100 gb.
Then just install fedora and you could even let it do its own thing.
I would use fdisk.  Never had a problem with that.

Hello!

I need a good program to partition my harddrive.
I've gotten a 200 gb harddrive, and I want to install windows 98 and linux on the same computer.

I'm using fedora core 3.
So, what partitioning tools are good?

I've tried disk druid, but it doesn't seem very accesible o me.

Since I plan to install win 98 first I don't have linux at all, so I think that I'll have to do with some dos or windows based program.

Also, When installing fedora core 3 partition errors are much more common than when using fedora 2.

Have any of you noticed this?
