Help With Partitioning The Hd

[puckman]

I have erased my internal HD and did a nand restore, I know how to get into the command line mode and know I should be using fdisk to create:

/dev/hda1  Start 1  End 20  Blocks 10048+  id 83 System Linux
/dev/hda2  Start 21 End 40  Blocks 10080  id 83 System Linux
/dev/hda3  Start 41 End 11905 Blocks 5979960 id c System Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

Only thing I can not figure out is how I can do this, can anyone help?

If you're only wondering is how to use fdisk to create these partitions, it's pretty easy:

• from the command line, type fdisk /dev/hda
• type m to get help
• type p to check the existing partition table
  - at this point, if the partition table already matches what you need, then you may have another problem
• type d to delete an existing partition
  - follow prompts to delete all existing partitions
• type n to create a new partition
• type p to create a new primary partition
  - enter partition number
  - enter the first cylinder
  - enter the last cylinder
  - default is probably type 83
• repeat partition creation steps
• type t to change the partition type for the DOS partition
• type p to verify the partition table matches what you need
• type w to write the new table and exit fdisk
