Creating a NTFS partition table using sfdisk or mkfs?
Long story short.
I'm completely new to Linux (I literally was introduced to the terminal 4 hrs ago).
I want to create a script to systematically wipe everything form a HDD ( I will not know if the HDD has already a data on it or it will come clean).
Then I'll create a partition table and two NTFS partitions (100MB & 80GB).
Mi clean the disk with:
whipefs -a /dev/sda
then... I'm stuck. I really do not know if it is possible with one command.
sfdisk <options> /dev/sda
mkfs.ntfs <options> /dev/sda
I tried to create the partitions directly after wiping the HDD, but I get an error stating that there is no Partition table. I have two hours looking for command that allow me to do it without any interaction further interaction after the first execution.
because I ave seen fdisk and the steps to create the partition table, but the magic of "I have a script" goes away.
Also I think I read something about creating a routine to send the types with "sed", but I hope there is a simpler way.
