Well I never had that problem so. Well glad you finall figured it out.

And btw you want the 8mb partition.

Here is why.

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d.../diskpart.mspx

"Applies to master boot record (MBR) disks only. The byte offset at which to create the extended partition If no offset is given, the partition will start at the beginning of the first free space on the disk. The offset is cylinder snapped. The offset is rounded to the closest cylinder boundary. For example, if you specify an offset that is 27 MB and the cylinder size is 8 MB, the offset is rounded to the 24 MB boundary."

27 MB is the default offset so you get the cylinder size of 8 MB. hehe Just know its for extended partition. So you can not delete it apparently even if you try.

Oh and appariently its only for dynamic disks.

"One cylinder can be up to 8MB, depending on drive geometry and translation."
