Problem with PCC recognizing HP v125w 4GB usb thumb flash drive key (SOLVED)

[nerdful1]

I was going to make a bootable usb key with 2010 gnome but ran into a snag.

The drive shows up ok under 'computer' and is usable, but when I try to configure with PCC, only my main drive sda shows up with manage disk partitions in PCC.

In the pcc hardware list under browse and configure hardware, it shows as hdc.

in disk partition manager, I only see my sda drive and its partitions even in expert mode.
Also no colors show in the partitions, but I think that is a known bug.

If I click on hdc under 'browse and configure hardware' it still only shows the sda drive.

The cd was a clean burn from a md5sum checked file, besides it did this in 2010 beta before I put gnome in.

It is a HP dv7-3065dx laptop.

I get a strange fdisk -l table:

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
[root@localhost ~]#

So I will try some partition tools.

SOLVED: i used gparted and deleted, then made new partition table and a fat32 formatted partition.

I suggest you wipe that partition table with dd first and then recreate it. Then create a partition or two on it.
