Don't be alarmed if Mdv refuse to show the card or states that it's
corrupt ....... it isn't, Mandriva has problems with some cards. :-(
An easyer way to do the same thing:
fdisk -l /dev/sda
If it returns without printing anything, fdisk could not read a
partition table.

Ah, learned something again. ;-)
It most certainly is a much safer way than running "fdisk" itself .......
nice! Pity it still requires root status.

fdisk or fdisk -l is the same. so still showing device's partition
