Topic: How do I change partition numbers?
Hi,
Right now my disk looks like this:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 149GB 149GB primary ext3 boot
2 159GB 160GB 1184MB extended
5 159GB 160GB 1184MB logical linux-swap
I want to renumber the extended partition number 2 so that it becomes partition number 3. Then I want to create a new partition number 2 in the 10GB of space from 149 to 159.
The reason I want to do this is that I want to install Windows 2000 into the space I've created. But when I try that, the Windows install fails when it tries to format the space, even if I use parted to create a FAT32 filesystem so that it doesn't have to. I've just realised that the reason must be that it can't cope with a "funny" partition ordering.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Mat
