parted resize error on dual boot prep

[vinal]

Hi all,
I've tried to setup up dual boot per instructions on an XDA Nook post. A few of us get errors when the CWM install tries to resize mmcblk0 8.

The script:
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 resize 8 3692 7691

gives following error:
Error: Input/output error during read on /dev/block/mmcblk0

One poster suggested trying: "fsck_msdos /dev/block/mmcblk0p8"
Output is:
** /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
** Phase 1 - Read FAT (compare skipped)
Attempting to allocate 5120 KB for FAT
** Phase 2 - Check Cluster Chains
** Phase 3 - Checking Directories
** Phase 4 - Checking for Lost Files
60 files, 677160 free (1217866 clusters)

Which doesn't help.

Any other suggestions from anyone? I have a nootered 1.1 on my Nook.

Thanks

Dual boots it on my list of to-do, but haven't gone there. Since you bring it up though, it saves me a thread - has anyone here worked on dual-boot yet?

Just got suggestion that finally worked for me. Had to re-format media partition.

newfs_msdos -F 32 -L media /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
