Hmmm, that is interesting. Both MBRs have the same structure, which means the offset is correct.
I can see one issue though. In the windows MBR the sector size is listed as 0x7FFFF800 = 2147481600 sectors. The normal block size is 512 bytes so 2147481600 x 512 = 1099510579200 = 1TB (This is what Gparted is reading) In the Linux MBR the sector size is listed as 0xFFFFE9D6 = 4294961622 sectors. Multiplying by the normal block size 4294961622 x 512 = 2199020350464 = 2TB. Obviously there is a difference between the MBR block sizes, I think for some unknown reason Microsoft is using a larger sector size which shouldn't be allowed. The 512 byte limit is the limit of the MBR system. I never rely on Microsoft partitioning tools as they have a very bad reputation and history. Its best to do all your partitioning with one program so that the structure stays consistent. I normally use gparted. With the NTFS partition you created in Ubuntu is the same partition then visible in windows? Anyway you do need to use gpt partitioning to use large volumes like this. In gparted can you create a gpt partition structure and create the same NTFS volume and see if it is visible in windows? (In Gparted do Device -> New Partition Structure. Click advanced and change from msdos to gpt) -- dmraid fails to read promise RAID sector count larger than 32-bits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
