Hello,

# Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes # 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders # Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes # Disk identifier: 0x9a889a88 # # Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System # /dev/hda1 * 1 1305 10482381 7 HPFS/NTFS //here is XP # /dev/hda2 1306 14593 106735860 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) // i don't have bloody idea what is here # /dev/hda5 1306 8347 56564833+ 7 HPFS/NTFS//media # /dev/hda6 8348 10905 20547103+ b W95 FAT32//media # /dev/hda7 10906 11032 1020096 82 Linux swap / Solaris # /dev/hda8 12506 14593 16771828+ 83 Linux//here i want to have FreeBSD # /dev/hda9 11033 12505 11831841 83 Linux//My debian:D # # Partition table entries are not in disk order Code:

I can do a backup of my data on Debian and my media files cause I have 80 GB disc on USB and it won't ba a problem form me so if I want to do a partiton for FreeBSD of which partitions i must do backup? and I can do it on windows for e.g with Partition Magic?
Greetings Artur. |

I would back up everything that you can, you never know if a simple typo wheile installing the system will bit you in the rear later. As far as partitioning in windows, you should be able to create an unformated partition using partition magic and select that one in the install.

So if I want to do a new partition for FreeBSd i must first delete one of those which I have actually or what should I do? I suppose is it simple but I'm doing first time operations like that on my hard drive and I', bagging U for indulgence...

after resizing your partition layout should look like: Code:
hda hda1 <free space for freebsd / hda2> hda3 hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 |

So for e.g I can delete hda8 and add this free MB to the hda2 than I must make it unformatted , and then I can start install FreeBSD and at that window(in first post I have mention about this window) this new partition will be seen? BTW how big should be partition for FreeBSD?(for aps only cause for media I have separated partitions

you can either delete or resize any of the logical partitions to create free space.
this will then allow you to resize the extended partition (which btw is just a container for the logical partitions). its easy to do this with partition magic - all you need to do is move the appropriate graphical sliders. just make sure that you end up with free space (say 5-8 GB) for fbsd before the extended partition. also, don't forget to take a backup.

Ok I have done it but know I have problems with drive. I have create one new primary partition.( i have deleted hda8) And I want to install linux on this partition hda8. But i couldn't because it is problem to write any files on that drive. It is the same problem with the new primary partition. I cannot install on it linux too. I have retype those disk in ntfs and checked wit:
Code:
chkdsk c: /f Greetings Latorion edit// Ok I know what I have done wrong but to fix it I will need gparted but I cannot boot anythink. I cannot boot Debian, FreeBSD and gparted. I have in bios done that CD is first boot sector. maybe sb know what is going on/ Last edited by latorion; 23rd May 2008 at 09:26 PM. |
