I've been using some of the guides on the net and have a strange problem. I've got 4 partitions setup on the first drive sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4 and I can see a sdb1, sdb2 and sdb3 there, which I'm guessing is from what was previously on the drive.
My problem is all the guides I see on setting up a new hard drive talk about running fdisk against sda or sdb which should be the raw device.
My problem is these devices /dev/sda or /dev/sdb don't exist. Running fdisk -l
also returns nothing.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
