I need some assistance in trying to format a USB hard drive to vfat format but can't seem to do so. I am currently using RHEL 5.3. I have tried the following commands and they all come back as "command not found"

mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1
What am I doing incorrectly?? Can someone please point me in the right direction??
I cannot format and install XP/Centos 5.3. I have a portable equipment with Linux (Centos 5), I am trying to format it everything to put Win xp and Centos 5.3; the detail is that when reinitiating the PC, the CD installer of xp start correctly with "Presses any key to initiate from CD" soon itself with "the install program it is inspecting the configuration of hardware of his equipment" until there all good.
BUT: Then it remains in black the screen and it does not do nothing else so as in some forums they suggest: I waited for almost 1 hour, I proved with several cds xp and these also I proved them in other readers giving ok, reviewed the bios, etc. and nothing, the peculiar thing is that if I place the CD install of Centos this one if it works and it installs in the portable one.
I have a pretty weird problem, which is that I can't format any partitions anymore.
It started when my laptop suddenly froze and I killed it (I just ran FF, IRC client, Kopete, ... and I think the last thing I did was plugging in a USB drive). When I wanted to boot the machine again it gave me a lot of errors that the root and the home partitions are both corrupted.
Repairing the system with the DVD didn't help at all and finally I removed all the partitions to reinstall the whole system.
During the installation it can create the partitions, but it can't format them with ext4.
I tried to format the partitions with a live CD and YaST Partioner and the same problem showed up code...
I'm just starting out with Fedora 14, and trying to install LibraOffice 3.3 from a cd from Linux format. Extracted the RPM file into my Downloads folder. using 'yum install *.rpm' from su - it all seems to progress OK until getting a 'not signed' error.Tried 'yum --skip-broken install *.rpm' to get around this problem, but still got error messages. So then used 'yum --nogpgcheck --skip-broken install *.rpm' - and all seemed to go OK and got a successful message, but have got nothing in the application menu. Can you tell me how to get a shortcut in order to open the Office programs?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was recently forced to do a reinstall of OpenSUSE. As part of that I backed up the folders I needed to keep. The installation however didn't format the 'Home' partition though. At first I thought it was nice, but I've run into trouble with a program I most definately need to get working. So my plan is to re-install yet again.
how to make the install format the root partition I think it is, and the 'home' partition, so I can start fresh.
To further complicate things My laptop (which this is happening on) is dual booting between OpenSUSE and Windows 7. It is VERY important that the windows partitions remain.
Recently I removed Windows XP pro using Kill Disk and a 000 overwrite on the drive. After that I used GParted format the drive and create a new ext 3 partition then I installed Ubuntu 10.10 from a live CD.
This system has only 10.10 installed. There are no other OS's present. Installing of 10.10 went well and all the the files are now on the drive. However, now the system will not reboot from the drive. When attempting to boot I get a an error message which advise that the medium is not bootable. I am then forced to use the live CD to boot from the CD.
I'm not sure if formatting a drive creates a new mbr or not. If not then I would have to create one and I don't know how to do that. I've read a number of forum posts on how to use GRUB to repair the mbr - however I haven't found any that specifically deal with replacing a missing mbr.
I suspect that when I used Kill Disk it trashed the MBR. I could really use some help figuring out the nature of the problem and how to fix it. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu so please be as exact as possible if you reply.
I am trying to install Firefox 3.6 in the tr.bz2 format on Kubuntu. How do I get it to install? Is there a way to do it using add/remove programs and the Adept installer or do I need to use the command line. If I need to use the command line what do I need to do to get it installed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAn upgrade %100 pwnd my system: I performed an upgrade to Lucid from Karmic and I lost my keyboard input and sound etc etc etc. I then made a Karmic boot-run/install CD, & a USB startup stick. I then backed up my important information on flashdrives etc. At this point in time I have 2 partitions one with my old user account & info on it, and the other as a new (re)installed Karmic partition. My question is: What is the procedure for:
a) formatting the drive,
b) not keeping the 2 partitions, and
c) re-installing Ubuntu (karmic) back onto it?
I have GParted ( but I can't see how to use it to format ), and I have no clue how to format the Drive from either within the GUI or at the command-line. How do I format & re-install Ubuntu? What is the sequence or steps? I can probably do the re-install intuitively but I'm concerned there may be Ubuntu tricks I don't know about! Also- does this 2 partition thing cause any complications to formatting?? So honestly my question is simply how to format the drive from within the system.
I have two harddrives. I will install on the first one ubuntu and on the other one opensuse or I will even put them together. I dont know yet.
Has somebody experiences with booting two harddrives, how can I choose between them? And when I delete one with gparted, will the free memory be automatically placed to the not deleted harddrive?

sda2 and sda3 are the Vista partitions. sda2 is a recovery partition and sda3 is the main partition. All data is safely copied from sda3 and now I want to reformat them for SUSE. I not bothered about partition resizing i.e. I am happy to just have the sda2/sda3 space available to SUSE and mount them somewhere.
1) Do I need to do anything about the boot table first or can I just reformat sda2 & sda3?
2) How should I format sda2/sda3? I'm guessing I need to unmount them and then format. Should I use ext4 or something else? Which command/tool should I use?
I have been using a kubuntu 10.10 till last week when it could not complete do-release-upgrade, so I downloaded kubuntu 11.04, specifying that I did not want my /home partition to be formatted, and went ahead with the installation. I used ext4 under 10.10 and selected ext4 again for 11.04, yet when I first rebooted after the completion of the installation, I could not find any of my files in that partition (except a newly created user home folder with the same user name as the old one). But when I looked at du -h, it's 92% full. I know I have set the mount point correctly, so it shouldn't be a fstab problem. What I should do to recover the files?
