I had installed a fedora13 on my pc with an error:
disk /dev/dm-0 /dev/dm-1 and /dev/dm-2 doesn't contain a valid partition table. how can this be resolved?
My motherboard is msi p55-cd53 with a 160GB SATA HD attached to it.
GParted tells me my hard drive is not partitioned and has an unrecognised partition table, but I know it has because i'm using it now to write this on here, and fdisk shows the following:

Anyone know of anyreason GParted may not be working or can offer an alternative to create a partition?
I have previously installed versions of "ubuntu" and "mint". These installations to try the linux operating system before a full installation were accomplished without removing "windows." I believe they created a live type partition and can simply be uninstalled just as any other program. Is it possible to install "fedora" in this same manner?

Is there a difference between using GPT partition table when formating hard drives and MS-DOS partition table? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using either?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a problem in my new install of Lenny (5.0.1). The machine in question was running XP and has a C: drive (system) and two other had drives (ide) one with music on and the other with videos. All were NTFS naturally.
I installed Lenny and re partitioned the system drive accordingly with swap and root partitions, no problems there.
The next phase was to convert the other two drives to ext3. The music drive has been backed up so the plan was to re-partition that to ext3, copy the video files to it and then re partition the now ex video drive and restore the music files to that.
I ran Gparted and partitioned the old music drive to ext3 but could not then mount it, it didn't do this after formating. I did not have permissions to mount the drive.
I read on a forum how to mount the drive from Terminal, going to /mnt, mkdir VideoDrive, mount /dev/hdb1 VideoDrive and presto it was mounted. However I still did not have permissions to it and could therefore not create directories.
Right clicking on the drive and showing properties now showed owner as root ~ create and delete files, group as root ~ access files, others ~ access files. All of these drop-downs are unavailable for changing.
I went into users and groups. There were groups there called mike and root so I selected both root user and mike user as members of both of these groups. Nope.
In the drive properties I entered Mount Point as /mnt/VideoDrive, File System as ext3, and Mount Options as defaults,unmask=000 0 0. The other forum I read stated that unmask is used to allow access to all users.
I then transfered these options to the Volume properties, again no joy.
I have added entries into the fstab and mtab files still no joy.

im really new to ubuntu and ive tried to install ubuntu 10.04 to my pc previously wich resulted in a total fail and me paying $90 to a technician. So when he formated my HD i told him to make a 80GB partition so i could install Ubuntu the right way,and now i want to install it to this parition. My HD is partitioned in 3
Sda1-266GB (VIsta)
Sda2-80GB (going to be ubuntu but currently empty)
Sda3-9GB (Used to be Factory Image)
I want to go through the installation and install UBuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx in Sda2 so i can make a Dual boot and select between Vista and UBuntu on each startup,what exactly should i do in the installation process?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've started this new topic because my original one was a bit old and my circumstances have changed a bit. I'm trying to install Centos on a system with a adaptec 5805 hardware raid card, real raid not faked, and am having problems when a large, over 2tb, sized array is partitioned. I have two raids on the card, one is a raid 1 with 2 500gb drives that I am installing the OS to and the other is 4 1tb drives in a raid 5 so I wind up with around a 2.7tb array. I was having all kinds of problems when I left both arrays in place during the install but a firmware upgrade on both the motherboard and the raid card seemed to improve it to the point where as long as I do not tell the install to format the 2.7tb array in any way I can get the install finished and it will boot up and work. If I touch the array in any way during the install I get a system hang after a question about booting from the cdrom drive.
My final test was to do a fresh install and remove and re add both arrays so they were clean and leave the 2.7tb array completely out of the install process. Then after install I set up a gpt partition using parted from the command line, I didn't even put a file system on it. When I rebooted I got the same hang up after a cdrom boot prompt. I then used the install dvd to boot into rescue mode and wiped the partition on the 2.7tb array using
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 count=1024
which made the drive out to be empty. Now the system boots up fine again. The only thing I can't tell, since it goes by too quickly, is if there is any kind of cdrom prompt like when the array is partitioned. I'm wondering if when the array is partitioned as a gpt is it possible it looks like a cdrom and thus stopping the boot somehow? Is there any other way of partitioning a 2.7tb array so I can see if taking gpt out of the equation will fix the problem??
I copied a couple of small files to it, and it seemed to copy fine, I was sure to unmount before removing, but those two files ended up being corrupted and although they appear on the stick, they can't be opened any more. Almost all the other files on the stick are still fine apart from one or two other ones, which definitely used to be openable but now are not. So perhaps it's got some bad blocks or something? So I hunted around for ways to check the stick, I'm guessing maybe it can mark those bits as bad and keep on using the other bits maybe?
I search, and I find fsck, so I run that on the stick and it doesn't seem to find anything, or complain about errors or anything, so I figure it's done nothing. (The stick is formatted as VFAT and can be read by both linux and windows). I remount the stick and see a new, extra file there, a deleted pdf from a few weeks ago apparently recovered by fsck. No problem, I delete it. But I guess that means fsck did do something after all. Then I unmount and remove the stick, and plug it in again just to check that things are working. And here's where it gets weird.
When I remount the stick, the files which were there before are no longer there. Instead, there's just a single png file, apparently from 2006, which I haven't seen since then I don't think. And I can open that file fine. Bizarre, where are my files gone? I unmount the stick, remount it, and all my files are back again! What the? Finding this curious, I run gparted on the stick to see if there is maybe more than one partition, and some glitch caused it to mount some hidden partition or something (I'm stabbing wildly in the dark, as you see). But gparted says that the whole drive is "unallocated", and fdisk seems to be saying it hasn't got a partition table. So I guess I've got a few questions coming out of this:
- Is this a problem that the stick doesn't seem to be partitioned? Should I partition it with gparted?
- Is there a way to do a proper check of the disk to check for bad blocks/sectors/clusters/whatever they're called, and mark them? fsck seemed to finish too quick to have really checked things properly.
- Is this stick dying and in need of replacement?
