You have (had?) the following disk: #fdisk -l /dev/sdc Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1p1 1 99 49873 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdc1p2 100 1010 451856 83 Linux How exactly did you want it to be set up? Or, did you want to format, as in *erase*, the data on both partitions? If the partitions are gone now, run qtparted (apt-get install qtparted) and select /dev/sdc. Partition it however you want it. QTParted can also format a partition to whatever filesystem you want. -- Matthew K Poer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
