Hi y'all, I have a Iomega ZIP disk but fdisk doesn't seem to be able to detect head, sector and cylinder info for it:
twiglet:~# fdisk /dev/hdb You must set heads sectors and cylinders. You can do this from the extra functions menu. Command (m for help): q If I manually enter them I can re-partition and create file systems etc. (I got the numbers from a web page showing how to configure ZIP devices, but it seemed to work automatically for them.) Why isn't it autodetected? Can I put the information somewhere? Can someone remind me what the numbers are! (I've lost the url ....) thanks for your help, Kevin
