Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table {Scanned}

[SW]

C. Linus Hicks,

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to figure out if I formated the entire drive
(200 gigs) using fdisk and then created a ext3 partition, it should be
mounted as /dev/hde or /dev/hde1?

Can the drive be usable even though there are no partitions? fdisk says
there is no partition on the drive but I can use it just fine: read, write,
delelte, change directories, etc without any problems.

Thanks,

SW
