I could not find info on this problem so I'm reporting it to you.
I am attempting to use parted to resize a FAT16 and an ext2 partition on
a 10GB IDE drive to make room for a Windows install. I have 3 primary
partitions as reported by fdisk. Parted reports only 1 partition.
Note: I am running Hitachi Dynamic Drive Overlay V9.83 (Knoll Ontrack
Inc.) software which loads at boot from the MBR and provides drive
geometry translation.
Shell output of relevant information:
address@hidden:~$ parted --version
