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. - Zac >Could mkdosfs have chosen a different sector or cluster size - one that >neither rockbox nor archos is comfortable with? > > _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-04-09 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
