Greetings again.
I got a small 3Gb hard drive that I want to format to use in an older system. So I did the normal things like using "fdisk" and "format".
I went to use fdisk first, and I discovered that the disk was split into 2 drives, one with a primary and extended dos partition, and the second with only a primary. I wanted to delete everything so I could just form one primary partition. Deleteing the primary partitions was ok, but when I tried to delete the extended partition, it errored saying that logical drives existed. So when I went to delete those logical drives, it errored again saying no logical drives were defined. I tried creating a logical drive so I could delete it, but it then says a logic drive already existed...
HELP! I just want to make one 3Gb partition, then format... Any suggestions?
