Hi ,
I am trying to return a WD Elements HDD to a contiguous state, it had a
Fat32 and an EXT2 partition, having deleted the 2 partitions to start again
Here is what I have in parted:
Model: WD 1600BEV External (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 160GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
This disk should be around 850Gb
How do I overcome this difficulty, please?
I'd use fdisk and delete all partitions, then create a new one of the
desired type covering the whole disk.
Then mkfs.<part-type> /dev/sd?1
After that parted should be happy to bend it to your needs.
Not sure where the 850Gb came from - the drive is 160x10^9 bytes.
