LifeDrive fdisk prc

Submitted by Alex on 26 February, 2006 - 03:53. Palm LD

I've made a very simple demo prc with a working IDE driver. All it does is run fdisk -lu /dev/hda which simply prints out the partition table. I'd really appreciate it if anyone who tries this could reply with the 'start' and 'end' numbers for each partition. Please also tell me whether you've installed the LifeDrive 2.0 update or not. I need to make sure all the drives are setup exactly the same, so that they can be safely repartitioned.

It should be pretty safe as it doesn't try to write anything, but as usual, use this at your own risk. Here's the file: garux-fdisk.prc (1.8mb).

Great. So the driver works for everyone and they're all the same. Thanks. I'll see if I can come up with something to try. ^_^
