I think it's there because, before I started, I tried: fdisk /dev/hdc and it came back that it couldn't read the device. Now when I do fdisk /dev/hdc it comes back with a correct looking partition table that matches the master.
well it wasn't there to begin with. what does ls -alh /dev/hdc say?
fdisk should not say 'can't read the device' when you try it on an empty disk. It should just have no partition table on it. Ie, when you go p for print, it has only free space.
