Hi, I have a dual boot machine running windows and RH Linux 7.3 I decided to get rid of windows and convert the partition to a native Linux partitio. Here's what I did:
- Used fdisk to delete the windows partition which occupied cylinders 1
- 1727
- Created a new primary partition in it's place
- Used mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 to create an ext3 file system on /dev/hda1
Did you change the partition type when doing the fdisk? fdisk -l output please.
