| 8 | You said that Google didn't help, but still, I've found some info about |
| 9 | it. In short, I've found two things: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | a) "cfdisk" might work while "fdisk" does not. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | b) You have a corrupted partition table that you can try to repair with |
| 14 | the "testdisk" tool (after you make a full backup of your disk.) |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Another thing: are you using busybox here or the normal version of |
| 17 | fdisk? (Busybox comes with its own fdisk.) |
