great !! thank you
thing is , I figured that I could just mount it like any other drive.
So , I wanted to format the drive and do an fsck on it , but now , for some
reason , fsck is not found.
Nor is fdisk found , is there something I forgot to compile in the os?
this is what I am getting :
[root@xxxxx /root]# fsck
bash: fsck: command not found
[root@xxxxx /root]# e2fsck
bash: e2fsck: command not found
[root@xxxxx /root]# fdisk
bash: fdisk: command not found
