- Read the manual, it is explained in the section on format. It has to
- do with being partitioned incorrectly, or at least not fully. Go back
- and re-edit the partition, and round up to the next cylinder on the
- ending block. IE, if you stopped at 1258/5/27, go back and round up
- to 1259/0/0 and the unallocated sector(s) go away. The manual, or
- the answerbook, will explain this in more detail.
