I've been given the task of creating a bootable Linux USB drive by a work-mate. Rather than a pen-drive he's given me a 2.5" drive mounted in one of these snazzy little enclosures, works just like a pen-drive.
Anyway, I've tried to create the file systems and have hit a problem. Once I've created the first partition as FAT 16 and try to 'mkfs' it I get the error as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n ubuntu710 /dev/sdc1 mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) WARNING: Not enough clusters for a 16 bit FAT! The filesystem will be misinterpreted as having a 12 bit FAT without mount option "fat=16". mkfs.vfat: Attempting to create a too large file system And that's where it all stops. I can't imagine a FAT12 will be any good to him as it's going to be connected to a Windows machine. So any ideas anyone?
