hi guys (and girls) !
i need some help, i've got a c3k and i want to bring it back to the factory settings (is from scratch the correct definition ?)
so, i launch my Z with the key combo D & B, i've got a minishell and i'm able to launch fdisk.
i've deleted all the partition (fdisk then p, then d followed by the partition number etc etc) and quit with w in order to save modification.
an fdisk -l /dev/hda says :
#fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 4095 MB, 4095737856 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7936 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
then i want to recreate the new partitions as the Trisoft's readme says (in the SLC3000SYSPART.zip archive avaible on the trisoft.de website. The readme explain the partition plan as :
Contents of the system-partitions for the SL-C3000

SL-C3000 HDD-Partition table:
/dev/hda1 Start 1 End 204 Blocks 102784+ id 83 System Linux
/dev/hda2 Start 205 End 1020 Blocks 411264 id 83 System Linux
/dev/hda3 Start 1021 End 7936 Blocks 3485664 id c System Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
Note:
While using the fdisk on the Zaurus, double check that you set the
correct parameters for the drive. They have to be:
16 heads / 63 sectors/track / 7936 cylinders
Format the partitions with:
mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
mke2fs -j /dev/hda2
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hda3
/hda1 is a 97.2 MB partition containing the "Rom".
/hda2 is a 388.9 MB partition containing your "normal" filesystem.
The contents of /hda2 will be restored from the information in /hda1 if you
perform a factory reset (the thingy with the "OK"+PwrOn menu).
but when i want to create my first partition fdsik ask me :
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
i don't know which choise i need to apply. E or P ??
Thanks for your help !!
i think that i'm coming back with a lot of another question (if i don't find information in the many threads ...)
ps: excuse me for my poor english (i'm french), if you can make soft answers, it would be appreciate
