[comp.os.minix] Partitioning the hard disk

cs342a37@cs.iastate.edu (Class login) (03/29/91)

I am trying to partition my hard disk (Seagate st255 20 Meg) to install Minix. I try to use fdisk on DOS 3.3 to partition a 5 Meg dos partition and 15Meg Minix partition. I went into Minix and used fdisk on Minix to partition hd2 into 14.5 Meg (hd2) and half Meg (hd3). When I rebooted again, I am unable to get dos to boot up. I keep getting "Invalid partition table" and the computer hangs. I can only boot from floppys.
Can some kind soul out there tell me where I have gone wrong? Perhaps you can give me a step by step guide.
Thanks in advance
