Is it possible that you created an extended partition, and forgot to
create a logical partition inside it? I think that's what that error
is (unintuitively) trying to tell you. Here's the table from my
laptop:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 271 2048728+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 272 1559 9737280 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 272 746 3590968+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda6 747 760 105808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 761 1167 3076888+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 1168 1473 2313328+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 1474 1541 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 1542 1559 136048+ 82 Linux swap
Command (m for help):
Note that hda2 is the extended, which spans all of 272-1559, and
hda5-10 are contained within it.
