I don't recall what happened to my manual. :) fdisk -b 2048 /dev/sd_ also, mkfs -b 2048 /dev/sd_ If you're not using 640MB media, you can omit the -b 2048, but the manual says (under both commands) "In doing this, if option '-b 2048' is not assigned for a 640MB disk (2,048 bytes/sector disk), not that the system may hang up or it may take very long time when command mkfs is issued." Also, "When it is required to change the formatting format (NTFS, MS-DOS, etc.), it is required to use option '-t xxxxx'. (duh.) I wonder -- perhaps you forgot the 2048 block size originally? But you asked, so you must have. Hrm. happy hunting. Phil M -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." --Anonymous
