I have just done what you suggested and I am still getting the message: Disk /dev/hdd doesn't contain a valid partition table When I look in etc/mnt it is showing that HDD is there. Am I doing something wrong or is it working and I just dont know it because my Linux knowledge is very small? Is there a command that will tell me what the sizes are of the mounted partitions?
