hard disk partitioning using cylinders??????????

[taran00]

hi guys
I have problem(bad sectors) in strating of my h.d.d. can anyone tell me how to leave the starting 400-500 mb disk space while partitioning. earlier version of Disk Manager has this option but now it is unavailable.

Try Partition Magic. So far I've never used it in DOS mode, but when used in Windows while the HDD to be partitioned is connected as a second drive, it gives you a choice of starting and ending the partitions at any point.

there's one way out..
create partition1= 500mb
create other partitions....

now delete the partition1.
i think this is quite simple.
