5gb Help
« on: October 16, 2005, 05:04:58 am »
I have a Seagate 5gb st1 microdrive for my SL-6K and when I type fdisk /dev/hda   It returns "unable to read /dev/hda". I want to use the drive but I can't mount it. I'm also logged into the terminal as root. THANKS....

Is this an OEM or retail packed drive? If it's an OEM or a drive you ripped out of another device, the firmware may not support being used in a PDA.

That makes sense.  The older Muvos had drives that could work in CF mode.  It was because of the mass-auctioning of microdrives that Hitachi later crippled the firmware.

Bottom line, you can't know for certain just based on the microdrive model.  It depends on the firmware.  You take a risk buying OEM.

it looks like you might just need to fdisk it then format it...

fdisk /dev/hda

create a primary partition, set it to type fat32

then format it with newfs.
