Subject : New man in the Linux world has a partitioning problem: adding Linux as
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a fourth partition
Installing the RedHat 7.2 on a Windows machine....
I tried to find a quick solution to it, scanning the news archives, but to
no avail.
My situation is pretty corny though:
/dev/hda1 laptop hibernation partition 1-2 16MB
/dev/hda2 primary dos 3-263 2G
/dev/hda3 extended dos 264-1793 12G
/dev/hda5 ntfs (default drive) 264-1793 12G
Free space 1793-2432 5G
Briefly, I have 2G primary and 12G extended Windows partitions. So now I'm
just adding Linux on the remaining 5G, and yet, while I know that I need to
create /root, /boot & swap, I can add only one partition. For what I
understood, one can create only 4 primary partitions on the PC architecture.
So what am I supposed to do now, reformat the entire disk? Also, I
absolutely wasn't able to apprehend the difference between Linux's primary
and logical partitions, I just know that I can't create any logical ones,
getting the "no free sectors" error. That is even before the next phase of
problems with booting from the 1024+ cylinder number.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I looked in linuxdoc.org, but
couldn't find any answers there either.
