Obviously a virtual machine is not a real machine. I suspect that hdparm -z is not being supported by your vm. hdparm -z is required to re-read an in session change to a drive partition table.

Didn't notice hdparm in the list of installed extensions Am assuming some features of hdparm are included with the installer?
Many methods exist to write new partition tables I use gparted successfully on all VM's and real hardware included. Havent experience any negative issues using hdparm before but will investigate if you feel this is the cause of this issue.
I really like the installer, pity grub4dos has been depreciated, I still use it on older hardware which Syslinux v 4.x hasn't supported.
edit: syslinux has not changed (is still v4.01)

Hi coreplayer2
hdparm is provided by busybox through a link in /sbin.
coreplayer2:
thanks, although is busy box always installed with coreplus? ...?

BusyBox has been from day one at the very core of each "Core" release. In it's many "incarnations" (i.e. the so called applets) it provides the equivalent of ca. 225 different executables, whilst not even using up 500 kBytes. It is one of the main reasons why Core can be as small as it is.
The fact that someone with 300+ posts in this forum here is not even aware of such IMHO "basic fact about Core" makes me really wonder why people are seemingly not even reading the first line of the Welcome page.
BTW that page probably needs some refresh to adjust to the fact that kernel v2.6 is now history, and possibly some more due to the change of focus from TC to Core.

Hi coreplayer2
Open a terminal an enter ls -l /bin
You will see that the majority of the commands listed (including ls) are really links to busybox.
Now enter ls -l /sbin
You will find that a lot of those commands are just links to /bin/busybox.
