Some infos in the first sector, like #heads, #cylinders... could be wrong. Try fdisk -s /dev/sdX to create a new SUN DiskLabel. Or dd the first sector with full of zeroes (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX count=1) before running fdisk. Hope this helps you. -- Eric Delaunay | S'il n'y a pas de solution, c'est qu'il n'y [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a pas de problème. Devise Shadok.
