Of course!
And this is what now comes out of the woodwork:
fdisk /dev/sdf1 -l
Disk /dev/sdf1: 4089 MB, 4089428992 bytes
126 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7812 * 512 = 3999744 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x69737369
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.
/dev/sdf1 is a partition. /dev/sdf is the device. Try:
# fdisk -l /dev/sdf
(that's "dash ell", by the way). That should show you the partition
table on drive /dev/sdf.
