Hello!

i wish to create a few ext2 partitions on one of my usb-drives. for that, i want to use GParted Live. i used tuxboot, unetbootin & universal usb installer, one-by-one, to install GParted Live (downloaded iso) to a FAT32 formatted flash-drive. it would boot fine, but on selecting to launch GPL, it throws up errors like 'can't load module ntfs' and such. tried all the options that are listed on the menu of GPL when it boots, but to no avail. i had been able to launch it some weeks back after encountering such errors, but i can't recall what had i done. could someone please suggest how can it be launched successfully?

thanks![DOUBLEPOST=1408702781][/DOUBLEPOST]UPDATE: going to try in virtualbox, and will use fdisk instead now.

i installed Ubuntu later on VMWare player, and used GParted and fdisk many times over successfully in it.
