Hi guys, I am a newbee and trying to learn linux. I am not lazy and will not post questions without working on it first.
I am trying to partition hda drive(as it supposed to be on Vmware) but I do not see it. So I used sda instead and worked on it. Now VMwrae does not boot up. I checked the sectors and free space ( 8.2 G).
Why wlll not I see hda when I do fdisk -l?
Part -2
When I try to install ext2 fs on that sda partition it says " you can not create here!"
OK so I try to umount and it is busy?

WHat can I / should I do?
Thanks

Hiya Bhurio,
Welcome to the forums.

I am trying to partition hda drive(as it supposed to be on Vmware) but I do not see it. So I used sda instead and worked on it. Now VMwrae does not boot up. I checked the sectors and free space ( 8.2 G).
Why wlll not I see hda when I do fdisk -l?

Some distros (I think Fedora is one of them) don't use the /dev/hda device name anymore, it's now sda, it could also be that you have SATA drives instead of PATA.
Whatever shows up, when you issue fdisk -l is what you need to use.

When I try to install ext2 fs on that sda partition it says " you can not create here!"

You may need to create an extended partition before you can create more logical partitions.

OK so I try to unmount and it is busy?

If you are currently in the directory you are trying to unmount, you cannot unmount until you change to a different directory.
