I took a minute and ran fdisk -l /dev/sda on the USB drive I am having a problem with and it returned these results:
--------------------
Disk /dev/dsa : 15.1GB 15103033344 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 14403 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 14003 14339056 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2 14004 14003 409600 83 Linux
--------------------
What I thought was odd was the "Start / End" on /dev/sda2. It looks like it starts after it ends. Is this something to do with the partitioning scheme or something with fdisk (used fdisk on Knoppix 3.6)?
QTParted shows /dev/sda1 to be "unknown" type. How is fdisk recognizing it as FAT32 (which is correct) if QTParted doesn't understand how to read the partition (which was originally made with QTParted)?
Any of this look odd to anyone else?
