terminology of fdisk with no parameters
I am following the guide on this page: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html#Examples
... to make an image of my entire 2TB hard drive with a destroyed partition table and/or MBR to another hard drive that is 3TB in size.
Now if you scroll down to step 6 entitled "6 A small tutorial with examples", I am following "example 1". On the 3rd step of example 1 the instruction is to do this:
fdisk /dev/hdb
upon doing that, it just brings me to the fdisk menu. The instructions do not indicicate what to do in the fdisk menu. Is it "assumed" that upon indiciating simply "fdisk" that I am to write a new partition table using the "w" command? I really have no idea what to do. Upon using the "p" command this is what I physically see:
/dev/sdc1 * 63 3907024064 2743194120 83 Linux
What should I do?
