yes, i follow the wiki and formated the hda1 (maybe i make a mistake there)

i'm sorry i dont understand  your last phrase.


i formated the hda1 partition,
(hda1 is the supposed partition where the records go, right? (cant
remember where i read this, may be my error)
but i think i broke something in hda:

[root at Elphel353 /]1089# fdisk -l
Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)

Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1824 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 4096 = 65802240 bytes

Disk /dev/hda doesn't contain a valid partition table
[root at Elphel353 /]1089#

are mtdblocks inside hda?
if i format hda partition there is nothing inside, (only hda1 with the
records)? am i right?

any ideas?
