How to partition Voyager

Recommended Posts

I bought a Voyager 1GB and it doesn't work. How can I fix it?

 

It is detected as a usb device, and even as a storage device. It sends its ID string and everything. lsusb sees that it puts up a fake hub between the memory and the interface:

 

 

root@ajs-w ~ # lsusb

Bus 003 Device 007: ID 067b:2517 Prolific Technology, Inc. Flash Disk Mass Storage Device

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 067b:2515 Prolific Technology, Inc. Flash Disk Embedded Hub

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

 

 

udev recognizes it and creates a disk device for it:

root@ajs-w ~ # ls /dev/sda*

/dev/sda

But, as you can see, there's no disk partition. I thought I could create my own with cfdisk, but cfdisk hangs trying to read the device. When I do this dmesg reports thusly:

SCSI error : <2 0 0 0> return code = 0x6000000

end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0

Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0

usb 3-4.1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7

usb 3-4.1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7

end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0

Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0

unable to read partition table

Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

usb-storage: device scan complete

 

I also found a Windows machine and stuck it in that. The Windows gui (explorer) would not create a drive letter, and paused the GUI, like I/O problems on windows are want to do.

Some inexpert dicking around with the cmd prompt yeilded a drive letter assignment, but the (GUI) partitioning tools hung while trying to read the drive partition table.

 

So how do you format one of these things if it doesn't give you a partition table?
