Hi,
I have a Samsung mp3 player that doesn't want to format his drive. When I run fsck on it I get:
# fsck.vfat -rtlV -v /dev/sdb1 dosfsck 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN Checking we can access the last sector of the filesystem Boot sector contents: System ID "MSDOS5.0" Media byte 0xf8 (hard disk) 512 bytes per logical sector 4096 bytes per cluster 1 reserved sector First FAT starts at byte 512 (sector 1) 2 FATs, 16 bit entries 126464 bytes per FAT (= 247 sectors) Root directory starts at byte 253440 (sector 495) 512 root directory entries Data area starts at byte 269824 (sector 527) 63127 data clusters (258568192 bytes) 63 sectors/track, 255 heads 50 hidden sectors 505550 sectors total Starting check/repair pass. Both FATs appear to be corrupt. Giving up.
I have tried mkdosfs with no luck. I will appreciate very much if anyone can tell mi what to do to get it back to work.
