I have re-installed the OS and allocated 9 GB to the root and 2 GB other file system while installing but still i face the same problem.
By using the command format and partition i am getting the same error "out of range".
eg-
cylinder value for root ranges from [2 - 1031 root]
I am trying to create a partition from 1033 it gives me an error message "out of range"

Please suggest
