That's what we are here for.

It's not hard using the file I send you with this mail.
First, forget about all the boot and root disk stuff mentioned in the
Parted manual -- it's obsolete.  Then follow these steps:

        1. Put the file on a new diskette and make it executable:
           
           $ chmod 755 parted.static

        2. Boot up your favorite rescue CD (for example, GRML, INSERT,
           Knoppix, ...).  

        3. Put in the diskette you prepared and mount it, e.g.
           
           $ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

        4. Execute the binary on it:

           $ /mnt/floppy/parted.static

        5. Done!


Let me know if you are experiencing any problems.


Best wishes,

Leslie
