formatting
I've been asking on IRC channels but no one answers me, I need to format my hard drive, normally it's just format c:
but c doesn't exist, how do I format when I have linux mandrake installed. Please reply to this quickly, I'm kinda in a rush |

In linux, harddrives aren't listed as C/E/D/G:. They are listed like so:
/dev/hda1 Explained: /dev ::This is the device directory hd ::This means that the device is a harddrive(HD) hda ::This means hd A. hda1 ::This means partition one on hd A. So to format what used to be your C:, you would type: fdisk /dev/hda [Note: I am kinda new myself; you can confirm what I said at linuxdocs.org. |
