PartEd-Bug: Unable to align partition properly |

Hello again,
I now tried to create a Linux partition behind the FAT16 partition that I
reduced in size and converted to FAT32 (see my previous mail)... and it
doesn't work out... I first tried ext3, but it does not seem to be supported,
and then reisferfs and got the error messages you see below. The partition in
the end could not be created.
I try with cfdisk now. Its strange, I never used something else than cfdisk
or parted on the disk and it still tells me something about an incorrect
partition table. Could you enlighten me on this?
Note: I am in holidays from 26 July to 19. August as noted in my previous
email.

Warning: Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that another
partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't
have
the correct BIOS geometry. It is safe to ignore,but ignoring may cause
(fixable) problems with some boot loaders.
