Troubleshooting: legacy HD
Last response: in Storage
Hey,
I recently got a 20GB legacy drive to augment my 10.2GB legacy drive, which I've been using exclusively since my brand-new 80GB drive died.
When I attempted to fdisk the 20GB drive, however, I was unable to write a new partition table to the disk. That's a problem because I want to set it up with mountpoints for /home and /var, and the current setup is awkward for that--not to mention it's all in NTFS, and I was planning on using ReiserFS.
Could anyone suggest a solution, or at least tell me what might be wrong?
Thank you.
