RE: Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table {Scanned}

Hi,
 
When you have done it a couple of times, you will be surprised how simple it really is.
It looks like you have not partitioned your drive. Have you run "fdisk /dev/hde" and partitioned
your drive up? One then has to create a filesystem on the drive, after it is partitioned.
 
Do you know what drive number it is?
hda - primary master
hdb - primary slave
hdc - secondary master
hdd - secondary slave
hde - ?
 
regards,
Geoff.

Hi,

I'm trying to find out how I can go about making sure my new hard drive
(/dev/hde) is correctly formated and partitioned. This was my 1st time
adding a hard drive in a linux system and I had a pretty hard time setting
it up.

Now, I'm getting the following error when I try to run a backup script to
this hard drive:

Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table

Here is the info for this hard drive:

# e2fsck /dev/hde
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
/dev/hde: clean, 194/24428544 files, 2871129/48840246 blocks

#vi /etc/fstab
/dev/hde                /Backups                ext3    defaults        1 2

Can anyone tell me how to go about troubleshooting this problem?

Thanks,

SW
