Probably using the fdisk in dos/windoze. That's not inherantly wrong, you just have to realise it's limitations, and the fact that an extended partition is not the same as a logical one. You can have up to 4 primary partitions on a hard drive (although dos fdisk can only handle one), one of which may be an extended partition. In this extended partition you may create loads of logical partitions (I think there's a limit of 256 or something equally high...). Either go back and look through fdisk carefully, or wait until you are installing debian, and use cfdisk (part of the install process) to finish partitioning. -- Andrew Suffield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
