Hello,

I have RHES v3 installed on 160 GB HDD. Presently my
partition is in this manner which is the defualt
installation partition 

/dev/sda8                 2016       238      1676 
13% /
/dev/sda3                  190        11       170  
6% /boot
none                       124         0       124  
0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda7                 1012        47       914  
5% /tmp
/dev/sda5                 9837      2378      6959 
26% /usr
/dev/sda9                 9837       250      9088  
3% /var
/dev/sda2                 2525        33      2365  
2% /home

When I do a fdisk this is what I get
/dev/sda1             1         7     56196   de  Dell
Utility
/dev/sda2             8       334   2626627+  83

Linux
/dev/sda9          2091      3364  10233373+  83 
Linux

How can I use retrive this space '/dev/sda4  360    
19452 153364522+   f  Win95 Ext'd (LBA)' and use it on
my linux.
I would like to call this partition as 'data' and use
this space.
I tried 
mkfs.ext3 -c /dev/sda4
but was not lucky. Any help in this matter is
appreciated.

Thanks
Bob
