I need PartitionMagic for my brain. The missing 19G is in /dev/hda1 which I zero'ed out and not where I assumed it was. Note to self: Never assume without opening your eyes.
Hi Jim,
An extended partition is just a container for logical partitions.
If your existing logical partition does not use all the extended partition, you can create and format a second logical partition in the unused space.
Otherwise you will need to shrink your existing logical partition first - google for PartitionMagic for example.
See http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO.html for information about disk partitions.
Regards, Peter

Hello,
I have an extended partition that I'd like to reformat for linux, but don't want to loose the logical partition it contains. With fdisk I need to delete it first, but then I loose the logical partition. Am I missing something?
It it possible to format the extended without loosing the logical partition?
Thanks, Jim
