| 140915 | 2003-05-02 18:18:00 | I'm amased fdisk won't remove the partition for you. Lets have much more detail. What exactly are you telling fdisk to do? What exactly does it do in responce to this? .Clueless |

| 140916 | 2003-05-02 21:16:00 | Did you remove the logical drive from the second partition before you tried to remove the partition itself? Tell us more about what you hope to achieve by this. |

| 140917 | 2003-05-02 21:20:00 | You do realise that you're going to lose the data on BOTH partitions...do you... You first have to remove the Logical drives in the Extended partition, then delete the Extended partition... perhaps you formatted with NTFS and its a Non-DOS partition? Check the FAQ on Partitioning :-) Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 140919 | 2003-05-03 00:30:00 | Try telling it to delete 'Non-DOS Partition' :-) Then delete the Extended partition :-) |
