You have been subscribed to a public bug: In Windows 7 the partition on an external drive is recognized and works fine. Checkdisk reports no problems.
In Ubuntu 13.04 the partition is not recognized. GParted only shows unallocated disk space. Gdisk says: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdc GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.5 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by 4294966385 blocks! You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility. Disk /dev/sdc: 1565565872 sectors, 746.5 GiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): AAD95B0E-B532-46E0-8A90-CE52F34B2792 Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1565565838 Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 34 262177 128.0 MiB 0C01 Microsoft reserved part 2 264192 5860532223 2.7 TiB 0700 Basic data partition The awkward thing is: gdisk reports a disk size of 746.5 GiB whereas Windows' Disk Management (correctly) reports a size of 2794,39 GB. How can I get the disk to work? ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- 2.7 GB drive shows only 746 GB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
