Hello everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Have a Samsung YH-820, 5-gig USB iPod-like music |
| 4 |
player. It shows up in lsusb and dmesg. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
sfdisk lists four empty partitions. Each one starts at |
| 7 |
cylinder 0 but the last cylinder line just has three |
| 8 |
dashes '---'. The <c,h,s> part indicates 0 cyls, 64 |
| 9 |
sects, 32 secs/track. O cyls? That's not right, |
| 10 |
surely. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
At the end of all this info is: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
'read: input/output error-cannot read sector 0' and |
| 15 |
'unrecognized partition table type' |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
An attempt at dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512 |
| 18 |
count=1 found no such address. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
mkdosfs -F16 -I /dev/sdb resulted in 'Attempting to |
| 21 |
create a too large filesystem' |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Attempts to mount the thing result in 'can't read |
| 24 |
superblock' |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Each of these commands take about 10 mins to complete. |
| 27 |
Seems way to long to me, and I have a fairly fast |
| 28 |
system w/1 G RAM, but this is my first experience with |
| 29 |
these types of devices. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Is is time to give up, tell the owner he needs a new |
| 32 |
HD? |
