It is my understanding that Linux will list hard drives using alphabetical ordering and partitions as numbers. On a machine I am working on there are 3 drives but fdisk lists them as /dev/sda, /dev/sdf and /dev/sdg.

Why is fdisk skipping b through e?

EDIT: The underlying OS is Windows 7 and this output is from a live boot ubuntu disc I had. Also, here is an image:

Most likely is that someone first added disks sdf & sdg, then removed/unplugged sdb–sde.

  • Thanks for your feedback. I have edited my original post to clarify the situation. The OS is Windows 7 and since it wouldn't boot I loaded a live version of ubuntu to get some diagnostic info. – Scandalist Mar 03 '15 at 22:16
