I am newbie on ASM...

This is NOT a Oracle question .... but pre-requiste for ASM.

I am trying to create ASM instance in a windows server .
For that , I am trying to create a partition .....

I get the following error .

Thanks in advance.



DISKPART> create partition primary size 1024;

The arguments specified for this command are not valid.

DISKPART> create partition primary size=1024;

DISKPART> create partition primary size=1024

No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficient
free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specify
different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the
maximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR disk
partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no
more partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extended
partition, (only logical drives may be created).

DISKPART> create partition logical size=1024

There is currently no extended partition to create the logical drive in.
Create an extended partition then try again.
