Ok I found the problem out.
On my main pc I have been using my printer to read my CF card and to work on it in linux
(it has a card reader in the front
). It does not seem to work well with linux.
Secondly my main PC wont read this 1gb CF card in a USB card reader, I dont know why but it reads my other 16mb card just fine.
So I have tried it on my laptop and I have successfully partitioned the CF card
Now I have 2 more problems
I have extracted the first part fat16.tar.bz2 to the smaller first partition but I get an error "wrapper exited with error" is this something to do with text files?
And another problem I have is when I try to extract ext2.tar.bz2 to the second larger partition my laptop dies half way through reading the file. Is this because I am running out of ram? If so how do I create a file for more space?
