I have bought a external HDD enclosure, and I have a 60 GB HDD in it. The problem is the hard drive currently in there is a old one that I used with winblows and SuSE 10.1. Now I am wanting to use this as a back up drive so I want to get rid of the current partitions and make a new one, I am thinking XFS would be good for this? Anyways I am trying to use the YaST2 partitioner, due to the fact I have no clue how to use fdisk, and when it tries to remove the current partitions (NTFS and reseirFS) YaST2 gives me the following error: "Error Failure occurred during following action: Deleting partition /dev/sdb7
System error code was: -1014"
Any clue as to what is going wrong?
please make sure the HDD is not mounted when you reformat it. if your desktop is gnome, you have to disable the auto-mount behavior in control center -> removable drives and media preferences. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
