Re: how to format hda1

[lito lampitoc <ral codewan com ph>]

/dev/MAKEDEV hda1 didnt return any error, so I guess it works. but
mounting /dev/hda1 gives the following error:

FAT: did not find valid FSINFO
Found signature1 0x0 signature2 0x0 sector=1
Filesystem panic: (dev 03:01)
FAT error
File system has been set read only
--
it looks like the previous filesystem is still intact somewhere. I tried
to do an mke2fs but still didn't work.
