Aw: Re: Re: grub does not detect partition 5 on new USB-WD My Passport 1TB

[Peter Littmann]

 

I did ls -l and get the following results:

 

hd0: size 976729088 KiB   (USB)

hd1: size 976762584 KiB   (internal)

 

Both have 1TB so this seems to be okay, right?

 

Which tests can I do further?

Which fdisk is best to use? Normally I prefer Gparted.

 

Any idea?

 

Best regards,

Peter Littmann
