[Ifp-driver-common] Re: formatting a UMS iRiver for use on linux

[David O. <da...@od...>]

Hi all,

Was anyone able to do a "fdisk /dev/sda" on an IFP 390 with the latest
UMS firmware? I wasn't with Linux 2.4.23.

Please let me know what worked out for you. I'd like to get rid of those
partitions for the drive to self-format as Javier said.

Thanks-
