I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for. Are you trying to restore the data or formatting the disk with a new file system? Asumming the latter you need to partition the disk (try fdisk if you're having problems with gparted). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
