OpenSUSE Hardware :: Thumbdrive Fdisk What Is "sdc1p1"

Ubuntu :: Using PS3 To Create Thumbdrive Boot?
Apr 7, 2010My computer will not boot up and I have no boot disc. I believe the hdd may have failed. I am able to connect to the internet using my Playstation 3 but it will only let me download files directly to a thumbdrive. Everything I've seen so far needs a computer to extract the files to the thumbdrive which I can't do. Is there any place that I can download a linux distro directly to my usb drive without any intermediate steps?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Thumbdrive Installs Work A Few Times Then Password Changes/can't Log In - Distro
Jan 12, 2011I've tried to do the installs using Unetbootin, LiveUSBcreator, and Startup Disk creator and the Install program from within the distros themselves, regardless of installation method the same problem returns. So I do not think the problem is related to method of installation.
Maybe it's hardware? I've tried a total of four different motherboards, (an MSI, 2 Gigabyte and an Asus) all with updated BIOS, all 4 of which work perfectly fine with normal Linux installations to the HD. I have no troubles running any of the above distros when installed to a hard drive.
The problem comes when I install to a thumb drive. Which thumb drive? Take your pick. I've used Sony, SanDisk, Kingston and a handful of cheaper brands in sizes from 2G up to 16G. The problem always returns regardless of the hardware involved. Therefore I do not think the problem is related to hardware.
I want a fully functioning installation of Linux on a thumbdrive. (I do not simply want a Live CD copied to a thumbdrive.) This will allow me to make changes to the software/settings and have those changes remain after rebooting. I'm able to do this just fine, and everything works perfectly until the third, fourth, or fifth reboot. At this point I enter my password and my password is no longer accepted. Sometimes the screen flickers a little, sometimes it just reloads the prompt. But it doesn't let me in. At this point it's Game Over. All the hard work installing and tailoring the install is down the drain. Yes, I've searched and found threads of this similar problem. Many of them go back to 2005 or 2006. The vast majority of them are people begging for help, receiving a few suggestions, finding no resolution and then the thread just dies. Honestly I've spent many, many hours following outdated advice that has, on occasion, worked, but only temporarily. The problem always returns. Something is seriously screwed up and I can't be alone.
So here I sit with a brand new 4Gb Sandisk that up until last night had a beautifully running Ubuntu 10.10 installation. And yet, voila, my password is now no longer good enough. It simply will not let me log on. I enter it, hit enter, and the log-in screen simply reloads itself.

Jul 15, 2010Since installing 10.4 I've been having startup problems: I get a message requiring me to press S to mount various disks. Something which I've never really understood is: what is the relation between fdisk and fstab?At present fdisk gives sda1 and sda2 as my Linux partitions, sdb1 and sdb2 as my Windows partitions. fstab has:
/dev/sda1 /media/winboot ntfs
/dev/sda2 /media/windata ntfs
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext3
/dev/sdb2 /media/sdb2 ntfs
/dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 swap
which looks a bit sus to me. Am I supposed to make my fstab match fdisk, or does fstab modify the result of fdisk when it boots, or what?

View 12 Replies View RelatedServer :: Can't Create Partition Using Fdisk
May 6, 2011I recently expanded the RAID on an iSCSI device which is shared out to a linux server. Fdisk correctly sees the new size but it won't let me add a third partition. It complains about overlapping partitions whenever I try to add it.If I 'remove' the partition, the overlapping error goes away. The interesting thing here is that when attempting to use the default sizes to setup the partition the printed screen shows completely different results (which I can understand is why its complaining about overlapping)
I'm not sure why its not accepting the cylinder sizes I want. Anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong here?
Software :: Deleting Partition With Fdisk?
Jul 17, 2009I have a Windows Vista machine on which I selected "utilize free space on selected drives" to install Fedora 9 temporarily. Now, however, I'd like to remove the Fedora installation. I've tried using fdisk from the Fedora 9 rescue mode on the install DVD, but I seemed to merely mess up the cylinder boundaries. When I boot from the DVD, before entering rescue mode it says that /dev/sda contains a looped partition, and asks whether I want to reformat it (completely removing everything on the drive).
How do I remove the "looped" Linux partitions? (I cannot login to Windows, so any GUI applications won't be any help.)

Debian :: Disk Setup - Df And Fdisk Reports Different
Dec 9, 2010Iīm pretty new to linux and debian and I have a problem with my disk setup. I have a rocketRAID hardware card installed for RAID setup. In addition I have a separate HDD for linux and use the RAID-setup for server purposes. Now, when I boot the system, grub boots /dev/sda1. This does not work and I have to change to /dev/sdb1 for it to find the system files. (although sometimes it works, but in these cases the system does not find the RAID-disks. Thatīs for another time thou).
The strange thing about this, to me in any case, is that "fdisk" reports correctly, with sda and sdb but "df" reports all disks as sda and none as sdb. It also misses a partition of the RAID-disks which fdisk reports. hereīs a screengrab from "fdisk -l" and "df -h"

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Restore Partition Table With Fdisk?
Jan 28, 2011what I did was: - have NTFS (450GB + 4GB linux-swap + 44GB ext3 with ubuntu 10.10 upgraded from ubuntu 10.4). Ntfs partition contains data only, no windows.
- either with partition magic or paragon I tried to resize the NTFS and since then parted doesn't like my partitions anymore, but Ubuntu boots and works just fine..
- I took the output from fdisk -l and decided to remove the swap partition - ubuntu won't boot saying it needs the swap (although it was never mounted and i deleted the swap while ubuntu was active)
I have the following output from fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

**NOTE: Since the partitions are not on cylinder boundaries, using parted to recreate the partition table may not be good enough.. I don't have a backup of the partition table.
