Topic: add extended partition to cause whole hard drive is unallocated
I have been trying to add a extened partition(ext3) on my currently hard drive, success, but I add new partition(ext3) on it got error, when I reboot GParted ,the program tells me that the whole hard drive is unallocated,in fact my system is in used fine, use: sudo fdisk -l ,seen a additional /dev/sda3 extended linux partition and two original sda1 and sda2. use: sudo parted , got massage: "Invalid partition table on /dev/sda -- wrong signature 0", Ignore it , and delete sda3, problem have been resolved. Suggest don't use extended partition option. I am running GParted 0.2.5 (0.3.3 also, and same as a LiveCD off a SystemRescueCD 0.3.4.7) in liunx system ubuntu 7.04 only.
