I have uploaded a data file from my zip disk. The disk is a blank
PC formatted disk. I also took the recomendation to create a /dev/sda1
partition.
I fdisk /dev/sda (my supposed ZIP disk), delete /dev/sda4 and
create /dev/sda1 as shown. When I exit fdisk with a write the
following happens:
: Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
:/dev/sda1 1 1 96 98288 83 Linux native
:
:Command (m for help): w
:The partition table has been altered!
:
:Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
:SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 196608 [96 MB] [0.1 GB]
:sda: Write Protect is off
: sda: unknown partition table
:SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 196608 [96 MB] [0.1 GB]
:sda: Write Protect is off
: sda: unknown partition table
:Syncing disks.
If i exit fdisk and then fdisk /dev/sda a second time, I get this:
:Command (m for help): p
:
:Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 96 cylinders
:Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
:
: Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
:/dev/sda1 1 1 2144 2195328 3 XENIX usr
:Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
: phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 3, 1)
:Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
: phys=(95, 15, 32) logical=(2143, 58, 32)
:Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
: phys=(95, 15, 32) should be (95, 63, 32)
