$reward$ NT4 setup error
information on my HD after I run debian install, the HD is setup into 4 Non-MSDOS partitions, and they are all blown WAY out of proportion, like I have one, 151 MB partition on a 120 MB hard drive, and all the other partitions are huge. I have a feeling that's something that's causing fdisk's error message.

install cd xp sp2 i386 asms lecteur format volume
So I tried to use fdisk to reformat that partition (delete the partition and then create one of the same size in the same place). That seemed to work, but when it rebooted the installation program can't find the harddrive (let alone the installation partition) so I'm unable to reinstall OS/2.

xp formatted a sata drive, any way to recover?
MS-DOS was actually brain-dead at 32MB partition size, with 512 byte per addressable unit -- but MS has patched (with bigger cluster unit) to make it work to current sizes. NT, on the other hand, has currently the limit of 2GB for its primary installation partition. THe reason is that NT still relies on the MS-DOS

Question
Also, I understand that Mandrake installation program should be able to resize existing partition. And - the strangest thing is - when I click on hdb, no matter if there are no partitions or not, I only get the "Create" button. No delete, resize or anything like that. So it seems as if the installation program

Make sure there is at least one partition on the second hard drive. It can be the one for this NT installation.
