is this disk empty ?
do a CTRL+c to leave gdisk
then enter gdisk again

Code: Select all

gdisk /dev/sdb

and give command "p" to see what on there

[Draftmancorp]

can't do p, after gdisk:

yesterday evening i pick this second HDD and erase all his partition, so i leave it with unallocated space and partitions. :scratch

[fvdw]

well when gdisk is loaded it mentions something about bad crc and it loaded a backup table.
Thi seems a Lacie setup we don't need it.

Delete all partitions
use in gdisk command "d" and number of partition until all are gone
Then
make a new partition as described earlier and perform a "w" command
After that do

Code: Select all

gdisk -l /dev/sdb

and post output before doing the formatting

ok in putty at Linux command prompt give following command to format the partition sdb1

Code: Select all

mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/sdb1

[Draftmancorp]

Is formatting.....600/14905

[Draftmancorp]

What i do when arrive at the 14905/14905 ????
