Hi people, How do I format a disk for linux, I tried recovering my 114 gig I was having the last lot of troubles with, but I am having problems with that too. I tried using parted /dev/hdb then mklabel bsd and then exit, that seemed to go well. But then when I tried fdisk -l /dev/hdb, it said there wasn't a valid partition table. How do I do this please? I just want 1 ext2 partition filling the hole disk. Cheers, Chris Norman <!-- chris.norman4@xxxxxxxxxxxx --> Selling cheap but functional shell accounts.
