Do you experience the same on another PC (windows/linux)? can you post the output of fdisk -l /dev/sd<X> <X> is you drive letter i.e. "c" above Sometimes messages are result of misinterpretation, so it could be another issue behind - try to mount it on other system Finally if nothing else helps and if you can read only files, backup them on another drive and try formatting this one. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
