Cfdisk fails on partitioning- bad primary partition

Hello. I'm trying to install Arch Linux on my notebook- Asmobile S96SP.
If I try to use manual disk partitioning, then I see black screen of cfdisk with this error:
FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partitions ends in the final partical cylinder.
Press any key to exit cfdisk.
I've got just one disk (250GB SATA), and 4 partitions on it.
I want to install Linux on E:.
What's wrong? Someone know how to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

Ok, I fixed it by remove E: partition to make free space (unattached).
Now i've got the second problem. I hear "peep" from my notebook all the time. It's problem with ACPI, becouse if I disable acpi on startup, then i don't hear nothing. I found this: http://www.inliniac.net/blog/2008/07/25 … state.html
but i don't know how can i add to "options" file 2 processors, and how to update initrd on Arch.
/proc/acpi/processor/CPU1/
/proc/acpi/processor/CPU2/
Thanks for reply.

I found an old topic(http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=33916) on this problem but the solution was
try cfdisk -z /dev/device. However, this will wipe all your partitions.
I would like to keep my partitions as they are. Somebody suggested using testdisk for Windows to repair the bad partitions but I'm not sure of how to use it. Can anybody help me please? Thank you!

Are you still frustrated because of cfdisk which gives you something like this:
FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder
Press any key to exit cfdisk
Here, I'm trying to install archlinux on a pendrive and I get almost the same error when trying to manually format the disk. The only difference is that it mention partition 0 instead of partition 3... I guess there is a bug in the livecd?
I'm having this problem with archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso.

Bad primary partition 1: Partion ends in the final partial cylinder

i just got a new laptop, dell inspiron 6400.
it's partition table is set up this way:
1) a 55 meg partition which is supposedly the dell boot utility
2) a 10 gig recovery partition that contains the completely original HD
3) a 81 gig partition which has Vista on it
4) a 2 gig partition for MediaDirect
i used dd to backup the 10 gig partition, and was about to install arch. cfdisk crapped out with the error message:
"FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder"
ok...i'm stuck. gparted is able to go in and see all the partitions as fine, and it can delete partition 2, but if i try to format a new volume, it craps out.
now here's the kicker. if i go into vista and into computer management, i can go there, format the 10gig to ntfs and it works fine.
any ideas? thanks.

Does anyone know what else could be done than what is described here???

Bad Primary Partition

I have a PC with two identical Western Digital 750 GB S-ATA drives. The drives are in perfect working order. I have installed Debian and Slackware on them fine. Now when I go to install Arch and select the drives using 'cfdisk', I get this error:
FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder - Press any key to exit cfdisk.
I then tried to install Ubuntu, works. I install Debian again, it works. Why does Arch or cfdisk not allow me to partition my drives?

THCMyst wrote:Have you tried using fdisk? I had an issue with this using cfdisk, and as weird as it sounds, I used fdisk to partition, went back into cfdisk, and everything was in order. Not sure how that works, but it's a suggestion to try.
That can and will cause problems if cfdisk is invoked afterwards. cfdisk is very strick when creating partitions or dealing with a disk with a partition table, in a way that is good, some partition managers (an example is partition magic) will completely refuse to do anything on a disk that does not have a very strict partition layout.
Linux will boot from pretty much any partition and partition layout and will not complain at all, but older versions of windows (I don't have experience with anything newer than xp) can be quite picky and have problems with "uncommon" partition layouts (such as extended partitions mysteriously vanishing) which cfdisk avoids.
Like I have said before, if there is no need to edit the partitions (as in partitions created before running arch's installer) then selecting the partition, filesystem and mountpoint should work without problems.

Partitions, installing , raw- no_fs and "Bad primary partition"

I have been using Archlinux with kde-mod, installed with the Chakra live-cds for some time on a couple of different machines. You may be aware Chakra has now moved away from archlinux to roll it's own distro so this is my first attempt to install "The Arch Way".
I have an HP dv6t-2000 laptop, preinstalled with Windows 7, though I'm really fed-up with Windows at this point I do want to keep it installed on the machine.
The setup of the hard drive is currently (as shown in the Windows7 partition utility):
SYSTEM NTFS 199MB (System, Active, Primary Partition)
C: NTFS 394.12GB (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
RECOVERY (D:) NTFS 12.85GB (Primary Partition)
(there used to be a partition titled HP_TOOLS which I deleted a while ago (that may have been a mistake, I don't think I backed it up, I think it was last time I got really pissed off with windows and wanted to install Linux immediately)
What I have trid doing, starting with the configuration as above it:
> using the windows utility to shrink the C: partition to make space
> booting into gparted live CD
> creating an extended partition
> creating boot (ext2), root (ext4), home (ext4) and swap partitions within this
> booting the archlinux 64 bit netinstall CD
> when I get to Prepare Hard drive - manually configure I see something like:
/dev/sda raw->no_fs
/dev/sda1 raw->no_fs
/dev/sda2 raw->no_fs
/dev/sda3 raw->no_fs
> If I go to manually partition hard drive for sda I get the message
FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder
At this point I'm getting tired and liable to do something reckless (like when I deleted the HP_TOOLS partition), I I thought I better stop, take a breather and ask some people with more experience.
I'm sorry If I am short on details here, as I say I've spent a bit too long trying to sort this out and got tired and confused, I will fill in any details that are asked for, thank you for reading.

`/dev/sda1 raw->no_fs` means "you didn't tell me what's on here yet", the installer should do some autodetection but this is not implemented yet. so don't worry about this, just leave them alone.
the other one, not sure

Unable to access data/storage space of failed primary partition after internet recovery

Hello,
So just a bit of quick background info to the issue: I experienced my first major failure with my iMac a few weeks ago (early Feb) where the main partition on my 3TB Fusion drive developed a corruption of some sort. I went through all the disk verification/repair procedures I could find, however nothing worked and I ended up with a grey screen on bootup that had a round logo with a slash through it. I tried a reinstall of OS X Yosemite from the recovery partition, however this failed part-way through, and I was forced to perform an internet recovery instead.
This worked, and I now have my iMAC stable again, however the recovery process created a new primary partition in addition to the old primary partition. This wasn't a major issue for me as I planned to recover some files from the failed partition that my backups had missed. Unfortunately since then, that old partition has disappeared and I can't get it back. I figure I have lost those files, but what is really annoying is the space that old partition took up has not freed up. My 3TB fusion drive is only letting me use 120GB of the space (the size of the new primary partition).
So I guess I have two questions:
1 - Is there a way to find and get the old partition back mounting again? The drives that list with a 'diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list' command are attached, but do not appear to contain the old partition that I am after (I've tried manually mounting them via the terminal to check).
2 - If recovering that old partition is not possible, how do I go about freeing up the space it occupied?
System details:
OS X Yosemite v10.10.2
Mac (27-inch, Late 2012)
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Any assistance on this one would be greatly appreciated - I can't restore all my files from backups as I am running low on HDD space.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Eric,
See attached screen shot - is that what you are after?
As you can see I don't have access to the rest of the 3TB fusion drive. I'm thinking I may have to do a clean OS install so I have prepared a Yosemite USB install key ready to go.
Unless you guys can suggest something that is.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nick

Fatal error - bad logical partition 8 : enlarged logical partitions

Hi,
I am trying to install Arch after being an Ubuntu user for approximatley two years.
I re-formatted my drive to create an ~20Gb space in an ext4 extended partition since my previous would not allow more than four primary partitions.
I am trying to triple boot: Win XP, Ubuntu, and Arch.
I had read that one swap space would work, however I seem to now have three!
I partitioned ntfs for Win XP, then Ubuntu root, Ubuntu Home, Swap (2Gb), then left ~20Gb for Arch.
However the output from Gparted now states I have three swaps! I cannot install Arch due to the error message:
'Fatal error - bad logical partition 8 : enlarged logical partitions overlap'
Is there a way of resolving this without re-formatting everything again, since I have spend hours setting up Win XP and Ubuntu to how I want them.
I only use Win XP to manage my ipod and use Ubuntu as my primary OS. However, I recently found that by setting up Arch will teach me a hell of a lot about Linux OS which is my goal.
Thanks in advance!

Oh, ok then, that makes sense ... I don't know the reason to align partitions to cylinders but there must be a good reason, although even if they are not aligned it shouldn't be a big problem (at least gparted allows you to create unaligned partitions).
Personally gparted is not my first choice when dealing with partitions, it already scared me _big time_ and even if linux doesn't complain about partitions not being in the order they are on disk some programs complain about that (and gparted does make a mess out of that) and even refuse to do anything before they fix that (partition magic for example, and I've never lost any data or even got scared when using it).
Lately I have been doing it like this, create the partitions with cfdisk which leaves everything in a way no program complains, then I format the partitions with mkfs.whatever or I use gparted just to format the partitions, I've never had problems when doing things like that.
The last time I've used gparted to resize partitions things went well but on another occasion it did make a huge mess out of the partition layout (there were ntfs partitions involved when it went wrong, and only ext3 when all went well) leaving me with a problem similar to what you have now, luckily testdisk came to the rescue but I reckon I was just lucky that time.
I've learned my lesson, _always_ make backups or copy things to another disk, besides being probably faster (as gparted does a ton of checks) it is a lot safer and if you have really important stuff on your hard disk you can't afford to be relying on the chance of not loosing it in the process.

Unable to split the only visible partition (C) on a fresh system - 4 primary partitions

Hello,
tl;dr I am probably stuck with 4 primary partitions (two WINRE, EFI, and C), and unable to split C on a fresh system installation from HP DVDs.
320GB HDD has failed on my G6 2233 HP laptop. I've mounted a 500GB replacement, and done the following things:
installed Windows 8 from the HP System Recovery DVDs (provided by HP, not recorded by me, fresh installation)
removed the recovery partition with HP Recovery Manager
installed all Windows 8 updates, and HP Support Assistant updates
upgraded to Windows 8.1
installed all Windows 8.1 updates, and HP Support Assistant updates
Went to the system partition tool, to see 4 primary partitions created...
At this point I was unaware, this may be an issue. I've tried to split C as seen on the image. Wasn't able to set desired values (max value was to about two of equal size, due to ummovable files), but that was nothing new for me - on the previous 320GB HDD I've ran into the same issue, as I could (but COULD) do two about 14xGB partions.
Here I've wished for 120GB and 344GB.
Anyway, even with various values I've got an error on the next step, claiming that there is no room on the HDD.
Then I've decided to try EasyUS software, as it helped me in the past.
First screen is without any action (there is a bunch of weird partitions there, all created by HP software/OS).
I could choose to decrease the partition size, but option to create on from the unallocated space was not active.
I am confused. If I am not mistaken, I should not remove the two WINRE and one EFI partition, but I either convert C to logical partition (have no idea how, this option is not active on EasyUS (could do that on my USB HDD drive), or remove one or more of the other primary partitions.
Even if I will find a way to convert C to logical, is that safe, and should I after D is created return C to primary?
I've tried to play safe, and let the HP/OS software do the job, and they left me with 4 primary partitions...
OK I've found the guide which sadly does not seem safe... Any other ideas?
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/How-to-repartition-HDD-of-HP-notebook-with-...
Unfortunately they seem to habe different names... Probably are doing simmilar things, but could someone just point out is the EFI partition HP Toolls as mentioned in the guide etc.
I guess I should, after installing Windows 8, and removing the recovery partition, create a new partition then, and upgrade to 8.1... Would solve many issues, however I am not sure it would work, and really, do not want to waste two more days on this...
This question was solved.

Hi @IgiveUpOnHP ,
I grasp you are having an issue with partition the drive.
Windows only ever allows 4 primary partitions because the word primary is only applilcable to the MBR partition tables which only allow for 4 partitions. You can have extended partitions. Here is a link to Partitioning and Naming Drives (Windows 8) as a guide.
Good Luck!

How to create a new partion in my HP (Compaq LE1902x )PC that has already 4 primary partitions ?

How to create a new partion (to save my files & Folders) in my HP (Compaq LE1902x )PC that has already 4 primary partitions ? when something goes wrong along with OS(C) drive my all files are lost. so i want to create a new partition & dedicate it to my files & folders.

I would consider another problem. What if the hard drive (not the OS) fails. You'd lose all your data, all partitions. It seems better logic would be to copy your files and folders to either an external hard drive or USB thumb drive.
I would not use the internal backup program, but would manually copy the data. I also would not leave such device attached to the computer.
In my system I have a separate USB thumb drive that stored critical medical and legal documents. That way, I can travel with it, as needed. I also clone my primary desktop every 30-45 days. That way, if I get a failure, it's only that far back on lesser files.

Sorry our primary database file structure is different from stdby, we used db_file_name_convert in the init.ora, it look like this:
*.db_file_multiblock_read_count=16
*.db_file_name_convert='+OT06_DATA/OT06TSG001/','+RT06_DATA/RT06/','+RECO/OT06TSG001','+RECO/RT06'
*.db_files=2000
*.db_name='OT06'
*.db_recovery_file_dest='+RECO'
Is there any thing wrong in this parameter.
I tried this parameter before for cloning using rman backup. This din't work.
What exactly must be done? for db_file_name_convert to work.
Even in this case i think this is the problem its not converting the location and the logical halts.
help me out.....
let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks Regards
Raghavendra rao Yella.

Hi reega,
Thanks for your reply, our logical stdby has '+RT06_DATA/RT06'
and primary has '+OT06_DATA/OT06TSG001'
so we are using db_file_name_convert init parameter but it doesn't work.
Is there any thing particular steps hiding to use this parameter? as i tried this parameter for rman cloning it din't work, as a workaround i used rman set new name command for clonning.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Straydog,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

Tecra S11 - What are the two primary partitions for?

Hello everybody
I just got myself a new Tecra S11 with Win7 64 and there's one thing that wonders me a littlebit.
There are four partitions in total, for sure there's the Recovery one (1.46 GB) and the System one (256.38 GB), but then there are also two primary partitions (8.86 and 31.38 GB) without any displayed use or file system. There's no non-allocated space.
Can somebody tell me what these two partitions are for ? Because I want to split the system partition up to store my data on a separated one, if possible I also want to use that "unknown" space then ;)
Besides that: Don't worry, I already made recovery DVDs.
Greetings
Nico

This is funny: I just recreated the entire Harddrive using the recovery DVDs, now the two primary partitions are gone and the space is integrated into the system one, lovely :)
Is this maybe a faulty pre installation ?

Getting four primary partitions on X121e

I got my X121e i3 last week. I want to dual boot with Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7, with a primary partition for each OS and one for my data/pics/documents etc. However, there is already a system_drv partition and then the Lenovo Recovery Q: partition, making 5 partitions in total, one too many.
I used the recovery centre to create recovery 'boot media' and 'data media' on an external USB hard drive (this has taken about 9GB of space). I want to confirm that with this I will be able to reinstall the entire Windows 7 OS, or do I need to make another backup USB to do this? If done with DVD/CDs it seems you need 4 disks from reading other posts, so is it the same on USB?
I want to safely delete the Q: partition so that I can have 4 partitions, but with the option of beimg able to reinstall Windows should my first Linux experiment go wrong!
Thanks
Jienchi

Hello jienchino and welcome to community,
You can restore the system with usb disk however, I will suggest you to create recovery disc on DVD as safer side.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

"no primary partitions marked bootable" partition error

Hey,
I tried Arch some time ago and liked it, then I became curious about other distribution and checked them out. Now, I'd like to return to Arch, but while installing, I had trouble partitioning my harddrives.
My whole sda is Windows, it's bootable and I don't want it to be touched.
On sdb ist looks something like this
sdb? a bit free space
sdb4 logically Windows
sdb5 logically Linux Swap
sdb6 logically Linux Swap
sdb1 Primary Linux ext 3
sdb3 Primary Linux ext3
I wanted to install the main sytem to sdb1, so I set the bootflag there. sdb3 is supposed to be my /home directory.
When I tried to write this, I got an error:
no primary partitions marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this
What am I doing wrong? This problem didn't occur in the previous releases of Arch. Has it something to do with the 1024 cylinders boot limitation. I thought these times were over.
Can I solve this by setting the boot flag to the free space or the windows partition? Would that change anything on my windows partition?
I'm glad for any answer. I searched this forum, but couldn't find anything similar. Please help.

You can happily ignore this message, but it's still odd that you get it at all, since you have set sdb1 as bootable. How exactly did you plan to set up the boot mechanism for your system?
