Fatdog64 bootable USB can't fix with using fix-usb.sh

#1 Post by Janglee »

I created bootable USB of Fatdog64 with dd tool into 2gb USB . after booting to Fatdog64 I was not able to fix my pendrive with fix-usb.sh . :?
So I can't make third partition and can't make save file because of no space .
How to solve this problem ?
Please help me .......
Thanks in advance

Use gparted to see the partitions on the usb.

My understading is dd copies a file system, not makes partitions. You wont be able to partition the usb. Have you done this before?

Hi Janglee,
posting to Fatdog thread would have given you faster answers.
Anyhow, you wrote:I created bootable USB of Fatdog64 with dd tool into 2gb USB . after booting to Fatdog64 I was not able to fix my pendrive with fix-usb.sh . :?
Look into /usr/sbin/fix.usb.sh:

Code: Select all

### paranoia check - partition 3 must be empty
check=$(sfdisk -uS -l $1 2>/dev/null| awk -v dev=${1}3 '$1==dev {print $6}')
case $check in
	Empty) ;;
	*)	echo "Partition 3 of $1 (${1}3) is not empty."
		echo "Aborting."
		exit
esac
I have disabled exit of "paranoia check - partition 3 must be empty"
by changing

Code: Select all

exit
to

Code: Select all

#exit
This has always worked for me.
