Hello 'Tempers.

I finally have my own PC. I started Xubuntu from a flash drive, installed it to my Hard Drive and deleted Windows XP.
But after a short while I found out that my PC doesn't meet the requirements for Xubuntu. So now I want to format my PC (yet again) and use Linux Slax as my main OS.
To do so, I picked up my Slax Live CD, put it in the PC and booted the PC with it. I finally heard the log-on music (in contradiction to what I said in one of my first topics) and tried to access my Hard Drive at /dev/hda1. But instead of receiving my (precious) files I received an error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1.
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmseg | tail or so[/p]

So I tried what it said (use the command 'dmesg') and then I received a relative huge message. My attention fell on this sentence (it was there 4 times):
EXT3-fs: hda1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240).[/p]

I searched Google to find out more, and it suggested me to change the fs from EXT3 to EXT4. I just couldn't manage to do that, until my friend asked me which version I was using (Linux Slax 6.1.2) and he told me that Slax doesn't support EXT4.
After that I tried formatting the whole drive with the 'fdisk' function. So I tried 'fdisk /dev/hda1' and I received my wished menu. But there didn't seem to be any partitions. It's completely empty. I have a Hard Drive without any partitions, but with files on it.

What could I do to format my computer and use Slax as my OS after that. (And I know I can just drag and drop the files into the HDD).

    Stayin inside for memorial day. Just like other holidays, most people dont care or think about the actual reasons behind it. For most it's just another reason to get shit faced drunk and spout off hyper-patriotic nonsense. The Trumpers around here going to be out in full force with their trucks and guns and flags making noise all over town. Hard pass.
