Hello, Hope someone can shine some light on the problem I'm having. I've formatted several drives in the past and have not seen this problem.
I'm trying to use a 500G drive which was a linux system with swap.
I fdisk to delete all the old partitions and created one single partition. One strange thing is the partition starts at 2048. Had no choice.
That is the correct setting.
Try to format it with fsck.ext2 yields:
fsck is filesystem check, not format. You need mkfs.* Best thing for you is to use gparted instead. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
