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: 1. Used fdisk to delete the windows partition which occupied cylinders 1 - 1727 2. Created a new primary partition in it's place 3. Used mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 to create an ext3 file system on /dev/hda1
Now after mounting /dev/hda1 , when I do 'df' it shows me /dev/hda1 is 100% used. When I go to the directory where it is mounted and do an 'ls -al', it does not show me any file. I am not sure what exactly is happening here. Also /dev/hda is being mounted as a 'read-only' file system, even when I specifically type mount -o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/olddos Why is it being mounted as read-only, and how can I mount it as writeable? Would appreciate any help.

Did you change the partition type when doing the fdisk? fdisk -l output please.
