mkdosfs does not create any partition, it formats the partition to VFAT, but it has to be created first. In your example /dev/sda1, the partition already existed. If you want to re-partition your drive, you have to use whether cfdisk, or parted, or gparted, or whatever other tool for that puspose. Once you create the partitions of your liking, then you format them... -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
