lo folks,
i need help!
I have a new 40Gb maxtor HDD i want to put gentoo on, it's unpartioned etc. Right, i go into the gentoo install and type:
fdisk /dev/hda
and get the following:
You will not be able to write the partition table.
Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor sun, SGI or OSF disklabel.
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous contents won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite).
HELP i have partitioned drives before, but not with fdisk and i am confused.
Cheers
Dan.
