i am just a tyro. plz answer my question which i asked as my subject line.when i use the command fdisk -l it just shows the partitioned drive. but i want to see the all drive irrespective of partitioned and non partitioned.
fdisk gives you the total size of the drive, and the parameters for each partition. You have to calculate the remaining space. GUI tools such as GParted do the math for you.
Don't know what you mean by "see all the drive"--in the unpartitioned areas, there's nothing to see.
If you want to see everything on the drive--byte by byte---you can use dd + hexdump.
