First this is my fault. While flashing my updated version of Cacko 1.23 for the C3000. I lost my partition table.
No big thing right? Just boot into D+B mode recreate them and then reflash right? Well. I can't seem to create a 'good' partition table. I've tried as both /dev/hda and /dev/hdc (w/ a CF card inserted) and I get the same 'extra' partition. After creating hda2, when I start to create hda3 fdisk autoselects partition 4. Here's what my partition table ends up looking like. /dev/hda1 1-204 id 83 (linux) /dev/hda2 205-1020 id 83 (linux) /dev/hda3 1-1 no type /dev/hda4 1021-7936 fat32 I've even tried building the partition table backwards (from hda3 to hda1). I that case I still get the 1 block no type partition. I don't understand enough of the advanced menu in fdisk to know if I can clean this up. I just don't get it. I will say that a few times fdisk didn't even find my hard drive. I bought my 3K the first week after they were announced, so this unit is a full 3 years old. Is this fixable? Thanks, Mark Edit to mark as fixed. |

if you are using the fdisk from the D+B boot (ie, emergency boot) then the fdisk version that is included there is buggy and does that. You can try running a different version of fdisk from a cf or sd card.

You can try running a different version of fdisk from a cf or sd card.  Alternatively, you can use pdaXii13 installer to restore your partitions. This does not require you to install pdaXrom. All you need is the installer.sh. There is an option to restore your default partitions. http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/tmp/updater.sh |
