partition 160g harddrive. fdisk fails.

[Bo Peng <bpeng stat rice edu>]

Hi, everyone,

When I installed my redhat 9 system, disk druid recognized my 160G 
harddrive and made partition correctly. I am adding another harddrive 
and trying to repartition (actually LVMing) the 160G one. However, fdisk 
can not even display the partition table correctly.

1. What disk druid used to partition the disk? parted?
2. I heard that I can not start disk druid as a program. If I use my 
   installation disk to re-partition, will this mess up my grub 
   settings?
3. Is there an option/patch of fdisk to overcome this?  Any alternative 
   program?

Many thanks in advance.
