[linux-help] formating a linux partition

["Matt Alexander" <pool-ace@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried formatting a Linux partition (actually a dos partition [an
extended partition] but partitioned by Linux) with dos's fdisk command but
am having problems (figures doesn't it?).  When I tell it to format an
extended partition, which it is, It tells me I can't partition it because
logical partitions exist inside this ext. partition.  So when I try to
delete those logical partitions it says "No logical Partitions defined".
If you ask me, that's sorta' screwed up.

Is there something I am doing wrong or is there another way that works?



I used the word partition or a different tense of partition 10 times, not
including the two time I just used it in this sentence.  :)
