IF you use format and you make an error, like to partitions overlap, format gives you an error. &nbsp;So I would think if you selected a label and it was wrong format would show ant error. &nbsp;Can you post you label? &nbsp;What problem are you having?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
