Thank you for informing me about the conventions,
I'll try to conform to all of them.
(what does trim quotes mean?)
I tried sending these emails through gmail and Thunderbird
but kept getting an automatic reply saying that the emails were blocked,
so I'm sending this via the command line (linux terminal).
I don't know how to avoid breaking the thread this way.
I ran both gdisk and parted, here is the output:
gdisk -l /dev/sdb

(there are no values for sdc in both gdisk and parted, looks bad)
I greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you,
