You might want to start the process again if you formatted /dev/sdb, too. If fdisk is too complicated, you can achieve the same result with parted (replace '/dev/sdX' with your CORRECT device, i.e. /dev/sdb): su -c 'parted /dev/sdX mklabel msdos' su -c 'parted /dev/sdX mkpartfs primary ext2 0% 100%' This will prompt to confirm the actions, if you don't want it to prompt, pass the "-s" (script) option after the "parted" command. -c -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
