[alrufayyig]

hi

i need help ,

when i put the command ls /dev/sd* my external hdd show it mount as sda
so how can make it mount as sda1 ??

[pooface]

sda is basically saying that there is a hard disk at the device /dev/sda

sda* means that different partitions on that device. If you just have the 1 partition, then you just get sda1. If you have 2, you get sda1 and sda2...

Have you actually initialised the driver yet?! -> Menu -> Setup -> Hard Drive -> Initialised (not sure if I missed an option there, as can't remember off top of head)...

i tried to initialised the hard drive i have this message ( failed , partition error ) i don't know where is the error because i formatted many times in fat32 , nfts , ext2 , and ext3 and i made it only one partition without success.
