partition alignment problem

[Aseem Agarwala]

Hello.  I am running a dual boot RedHat 7.3 and Win XP Dell inspiron 
4000.  My kernel is 2.4.18-4.

I tried to use Parted 1.6.3 to transfer space from Linux to Windows 
(sorry).  I used boot disks and successfully shrunk the ext3 partition 
by about 5 GB.  This left 5 GB unallocated at the end of my hard drive. 
 Unfortunately, I cannot turn these 5 GB into a FAT32 partition.  I 
show below the output of print, and the error when I try to run mkpartfs.

Partition Magic 7 is also unwilling to touch this unallocated space. Any 
tips on how I can get this space to work in windows?

Thanks,
Aseem

Warning: Unable to align partition properly.  This probably means that 
another partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, 
because it didn't have the correct BIOS geometry.  It is safe to 
ignore,but ignoring may cause (fixable) problems with some boot loaders.
Ignore/Cancel? I
