thanks again! I did not dare to do this next step yet - trying to assess if there is something wrong with my current methods.
Do you think I should
(A) try to input some partition information on my own, like start from sector 0 0 0 and put in the last sector found, and hope for the best
(B) or try some other geometry information
Do you also know these My Books - do they come formatted in FAT32 or NTFS? this is 1 terabyte WD Caviar Black unit.
thanks!
