bug-parted report

[c d e]

Dear Sir:

Hopefully this bug report will help you.  Please read attached file, best viewed in MS Wordpad. Also, I used a Win95 boot disk with fdisk to format /dev/hda.

If you know a quick fix to using parted to mkfs under my situation, I would appreciate hearing your ideas.  Thanks.

Chris
