Ashwin Mathur is still having a problem:
Hi Tom,
I get the following error when I open Applications - Accessories -
Terminal and type sudo fdisk -l at ubu...@ubuntu:~$ prompt.
Luckily I could manage to take a screen shot of the terminal window. Please see
the attachment.
__________________________________________________________________________
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -1
fdisk: invalid option -- '1'
Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK Change partition table
fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK List partition table(s)
fdisk -s PARTITION Give partition size(s) in blocks
fdisk -v Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
____________________________________________________________________________
Is it the right thing that I am doing or I am doing something wrong. Glued to
your reply and trying in all earnest to folllow to the T.
Cheers !
Ashwin.
