The use of fdisk and mkfs
I want to know if what i did is wrong.
i used cfdisk to make a FAT32 partition, type "0C"
then i made sure i used the "write" command, and quits afterward
Then i used "mkfs.vfat -I -F 32 /dev/sda" to Format the drive into FAT32(At least that is what i think im doing)
but after that, when i used "cfdisk /dev/sda" to check the partition table, it said that all i got is "Free Space", my partition table is gone.
Is this how its supposed to be?
Windox XP cannot detect my partition~
am i missing any step?
im using Knoppix and "qtparted" did work for me.
I just wanna learn how to use the command line
Thankyou
