Other Help Topics :: large fat32 drive size error



You might try to use dosfsck on it still. In the default mode it handles the drive as readonly, it can't do a thing to it without the -r or -a switches, so you at least would find out if there are errors.
id guessed dosfstools.dsl wasnt on the iso, but it seems to have dissapeared from the mydsl browser.

lucky i have a copy elsewhere, just have to find it.

ok, tried dosfsck and fsck.vfat and get more or less the same message.
Code Sample

dosfsck 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
dosfsck 2.8, 28 Feb 2001, FAT32, LFN
No FSINFO sector
1) Create one
2) Do without FSINFO
?
Filesystem has 22891382 clusters but only space for 6110078 FAT entries.

i have tried both 1&2 and it refuses to create an fsinfo tab.  even fsck.vfat -lva /dev/sda1quits soon after starting
