Hi,
I solved this problem by doing a
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda5 bs=1M count=128
By the way, I suppose that the error message "If you want me to do this, you
need to zero out the first part of the
device (destroy the content)."
should be more detailed and with the suggestion command like above
" dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda5 bs=1M count=128"included.It will help a lot
for new comers.
Thank You All.
