I'm trying to install Warp Connect on my second hard disk, and the
installation goes OK until Advanced plonks me into fdisk.
Here's my partition table:
Disk 1 2
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������
Partition Information
Name Status Access FS Type
MBytes
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������
None : Primary FreeSpace 1
None D: Primary FAT 100
None G: Logical HPFS 200
None : Logical FreeSpace 201
None H: Logical HPFS 9
None : Pri/Log FreeSpace 1
The drive I want to install on is D:, but when I select it and press
enter, all the options except Delete Partition are not actioned! If I
delete the partition, or try on the other free space areas, there are no
actionable items at all!
I'm seeking opinions and ideas here. As I see it, my partion table is
flaky, and I can:
1) buy a flash disk repair tool and X my fingers
2) try a better fdisk (from Warp 4? Linux?)
3) switch the drive to the first, and see if that makes a difference
4) give up, install Connect on the first drive, formatting over my Warp 3
All of these have problems, so I'm...
5) posting to the net!
All suggestions welcome!
Regards
Gary
