NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hi,

I've got a problem with my NAS.
I installed a third 300 GB Disk (Secondery Master ). bujt now i can't configure it.
NAS detects the drive without any problems as DEVICE

Nov 9 17:57:44 SERVER user.info klogd: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0: unknown partition table

and on the webfrontend i can see the disk information

But now i cant format the Disk ....

4 - Configure Storage Disks
Disk Number: [1-4, blank for none] > 3

what is the problem ?

Thanks for helping

no solution for this problem ?

i fix it.

I have boot from a knoppix cd and addes a ext3 partion on the disk.
after that i start nas lite smb G. Nas detects the hdd and formatet as ext3

now it works ....

a couple of other solutions to this problem:

stick drive in windows box and format (slow)
download a copy S.M.A.R.T Linux on floppy and type fdisk. Add a partition and save. (very quick as you are not formatting plus you dont need a CD etc)
