actually "parted -s /dev/sd{a,b,c,d,e,f}" is failing to connect to the
device. I've shied away from fdisk given that I eventually want to
work with a drive that's been formatted with a GUID Partition Table.
My understanding is that fdisk doesn't handle GPT formatted drives.
The drive is only about 2 years old and has hardly been used so don't
worry about long shots. At this point I'll try anything to get it to
function again.
