In this case, there is no partition table on the magneto optical media (since there seems little reason for such things)
$ fdisk -l /dev/sda Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)
Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 151 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 2048 bytes
Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table $ $ file -s /dev/sda /dev/sda: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data
