Problems starting Parted

[Stefano Lucentini]

I have not been able to make Parted see my HD (its controller, exactly):

MB: ASUS A7V 133 with HD controller PROMISE ATA 100

I'd like to create a LINUX partition (3 or 4 GB)resizing an existing FAT 32 
(second partition of the HD):

   HD = 20 GB;
        1st = 18 GB (FAT 32);
        2nd = 2 GB (FAT 32, to be resized and transformed in LINUX);

The message at Parted starting:

Error
the DEVICE (trying with /sda2 and /hda2) is neither EIDE nor SCSI...

Thank you
(sorry for my english)
