    Actually I just remembered that some drives have proprietary factory junk on them with hidden partitions. Does your drive come with software?

    I have a SanDisk Cruzer that has a launcher in it for example. It still doesn't do this though, but who knows what weird stuff the factory has put on there.

    Well, Windows is more lenient with flash drives if I remember correctly.

    The reason I believe it's the drive getting messed up is that those partitions should not be there if you didn't make them - even if Debian couldn't read them, it should tell you that the partition is unknown or something like that. It has no reason to arbitrarily split them up and call them something else unless theres corrupt data in the partition table telling it to do so.

    It's more likely that your pen drive is getting borked IMO. Debian should be able to live with and read FAT32 if set up right, but this looks like more than that.

    Do you have another pen drive to try?

    you’ll never look at the little orange kitty emoticon the same way *MwaHahHAHahHAhahh*

    For hobbyists you can read books. Although hands on is the best. Their may be you tube vids that may help too. What do you think you need help with?

    Hii Rawr)) I totally *need* to add my fluffies to my signature!! .. I tried, actually... It didn't work though.... I think the files are too large.... the only ones I have have been taken from my DSLR ):

    Yes and I think there's overlap with intuition as well. A lot of times I'll come up with a conclusion without learning how to do so first, out of the framework of what I can know and observe.

    It's like the different kinds of computer users. Some you must always tell when to right click because they're just following your directions. Others infer that right clicking is a thing and can extrapolate new or novel cases where it can be used.

    Hehe yeah, I used to think I was INTJ. I just have pretty good Te but not as much as Ti, but even my Ti seems pretty developed for an INFJ.

    Darn copy didn't actually copy :(

    You could try rolling your own distro if you have the time. It helps you learn about how distros work and is pretty rewarding in that you can make them do what you want.

    Yeah it's a pain which is why I've never messed with it that much. In a production environment I might but for personal stuff I don't bother. I try not to put anything on the computer that I'm not willing to lose or have compromised.

    A lot of people forget that a real hacker would have a much easier time tricking you into giving them what they want without even touching your computer.

    Also in theory you should be able to do this on a live system. You'd have to keep a minimal toolchain and kernel unencrypted while you're using it, but you'd clone this over to your encrypted LVM that you're making and set up GRUB to boot it, I'd imagine. Then you can obliterate your unencrypted scaffold.

    Sorry, was missing your comments while I was typing.

    So yeah, the only way I know of to do encrypted LVM is to actually just do it, since it has to hide the LUKS container in all the garbage and even GRUB for example won't be able to read it unless you set it up to do so.

    Actually no LOL scratch that again, I'm not even sure anymore. It might work, or it might not. I'm no expert on VM. But I do know that you can write physically to a disk, I'm just not sure if it will do the boot sector or not.
    sprinkles
    Actually now that I think of it a VM should be ok for partitioning as well since you won't have any of them mounted.

    It shouldn't be any different from using another partitioning software and then building your linux on it, provided that the VM has real access to disks and not just a virtual jail.
