Re: fdisk on cygwin
Oops, I was searching for the package directly in the mirrors! I got
it installed now with utils...Thanks!
Now I have a problem that the SD card (inserted in to SD slot) is not
getting seen from fdisk. A USB stick can be seen though. Note that the
card is detected and works properly when accessed from WIndows Vista.
I also saw the correct drive J appears in /cygdrive.
sda - hdd
sdc - usb stick
