I have one harddrive and don't need more My partitioning is as follow: Code: Disk /dev/sda: 300.0 GB, 300069052416 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36481 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 18237 146488671 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 18238 18250 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 18251 36481 146440507+ 8e Linux LVM I want to install Gentoo on this hd to but don't now how to do it and need guidens. sda1=WinXP sda2 and sda3=Linux(Fedora 6) This is my first installation with Gentoo ever ... So hopefully I'm not messing up my hd realy good ... Ok, now I have printed out the full Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook, good to have that in case of misshappens ... So I need to repartition my sda3 partition then. I do it from the Fedora6 installation with fdisk, I believe ... Can I do it with fdisk ? Just do: Code: fdisk -n Am I on the wrong track ? Code: [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 #1 SMP Sat Feb 10 15:51:47 EST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
I recommend that you use GParted for repartitioning your hard disk. Take a look at this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted
Then you can try with fdisk. But make a backup of your system before you do this. You might lose data!
