Thats what I was thinking, but I decided to give it a try and lo and
behold it worked.

The chief difference that I noticed is that cfdisk didn't see the
partition that I'd made with fdisk. Odd, but true. (I'm about 90% sure
that I did fdisk twice or more and after the first time it showed the
new partition. Should I need to restart my computer to partition my
archos? fdisk gives some sort of notice like that, which I ignored,
because it seemed too tedious. I did unplug and replug the archos,
hoping that would be enough.) Once the partition was made with cfdisk,
I tried everything again, and it seemed to work.
