Probably there are still the filesystem magic bytes written in the boot sector (first 512 bytes). I think overwriting them should do the trick, but I'd like a second opinion on this, before I advice you to do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1" (but if there isn't any data on that drive, then go and try this...) -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
