Open a console as root and type: # fdisk -l Does it only show /dev/sda or is there a /dev/sda1 too? If there is only /dev/sda it means that there are no partitions on the disc. You can use fdisk to create a partition, then format ti with the filesystem of your choice. Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
