Well, I've tried lots of different tools today, but nothing helps. A search on the internet revealed that most of the people that had a similar problem, ended up doing a low-level format (zerofill). I just ordered a 20 GB mp3 player online (I wanted one anyway...), and I will back up all stuff, I want to keep, on it (it is a linux compatible plug&play device from iRiver :D). After that, a low level format will hopefully do... The partition layout is seriously ****ed up.
Not the most beautiful solution, but I've got too much spare time ;) I will never ever let a linux installer partition a drive for me, again.... --- Jeroen On Monday 05 July 2004 02:36, Adam Lydick wrote: > I've run into similar problems before.
