partitioning question

[Ken Moffat]

I recently added an 80gig western digital oem to one machine as a slave, 
and used BootIt-NG to partition it into 10 gig reiserfs partitions, with 
hdb4 as extended and several logical partitions, hdb5-9. However, there 
are .03meg spaces between each partition labeled /dev/hdb-1. Some are 
labeled hidden, some not.

I'm wondering what the cause of this can be. I did not preformat the 
drive or otherwise mess with it before using BootIt-NG, so it was just a 
raw drive. I wonder if there was some step I should have taken before 
creating my partitions?

I have used bootitng before with success, and this drive is functional, 
but the formatting is curious.

Thanks for any info...
