Fat32 Format Fail in Ubuntu
GodEater:
That's not the beginning though - the beginning is loading the correct MBR onto your device. Have you done that ?

Yes, I started with - dd if=mbr-nano2gb.bin of=/dev/sdd3
then - eject /dev/sdd3
I think I know the problem, this is for 5gig, what is the linux command for 2gig ?
newfs_msdos -F 32 -S 2048 -v iPod /dev/sdd3 is only for Mac's I think.

Well there's a problem right there then, the "of=" part should have been "of=/dev/sdd", not "of=/dev/sdd3".

And I'm surprised that even worked - you can't eject individual partitions, only entire devices.

I'm not sure what you mean by "5gig", there's no such size for Nanos. Let's worry about the format command once you've got the MBR written correctly. Once you have there should only be TWO partitions on your Nano - not 3 as you seem to have currently.

Also, there is no need to eject the device after writing the MBR. But you *really* should unmount the player first.
Rodney9:
If I leave the 3 off /dev/sdd3 how will it know which device to use, might it format /dev/sdd1 , sdd1 is my main hard drive.
Thank You for Your Patience.
