Hello folks!

The Linux program "parted" do not work!
After I installed WindowsXP, and used ms-install-partition-utils, It
screwed something.. So now "parted" don't work on that disk!
I get the following messages when I start the program "parted":
--cut--
Using /dev/hda
Warning: Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that
another
partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it
didn't have
the correct BIOS geometry. It is safe to ignore,but ignoring may cause
(fixable) problems with some boot loaders.
Ignore/Cancel?
--end cut--

Linux's fdisk still works though, but I must say that msdos's fdisk
looks strange, Whatever are wrong now?

What more worth to note, Im debian-testing-user, and it was a ntsf
filesystem I created, and it's gone now ( Im installed WinME fat32 on
same partion, but the problem with parted remains ).

Any ideer are welcome!
