Acabei de comprar este pen drive no eBay. É um giro Imation de 4 GB. Não tenho interesse no software de criptografia proprietário que o acompanha, na verdade, prefiro não conectá-lo ao meu PC com Windows até que eu tenha reformatado e re-particionado de preferência.
Meu plano era inicializar o Linux a partir de um CD ao vivo e particionar novamente a unidade flash a partir daí. O problema é que fdiskme dá uma saída estranha e estou preocupado que eu possa bloquear a unidade. Devo me preocupar ou seguir em frente?
# fdisk -v
fdisk (util-linux-ng 2.13.1.1)
# fdisk -l /dev/sda1
Disk /dev/sda1: 3875 MB, 3875602432 bytes
120 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7440 * 512 = 3809280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6f20736b
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.
