Unable to partition

[Shrikar archak]

Hi,
I also faced the same problem. Check if the partition is ntfs.
In that case it cant partition it.
Do a "chkdsk -f" in windows twice .
1) then either use ntfsrezise to partition the hardisk
                      Or
2) try manually partitioning the hardisk

Once the partition is done everything ll go fine. Atleast went fine for me
Thanks
Shrikar
