Actually, your first email made me double check this to see if I was
missing something and I was (or maybe it really wasn't there initially).
So what I see now is:
Disk /dev/sda: 750.1 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 91201 732572001 7 HPFS/NTFS
This is definitely the drive. So when I try to use Webmin to mount and
partition device /dev/sda (and also tried /dev/sda2) as a New Linux
Native Filesystem (ext3), I get the error of:
Failed to save mount : Mount failed :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
So I'm guessing I'm using the wrong file system type. What should I use
instead of ext3?
Thanks,
Tim
