Hi, i don't know if i've to config something to have a normal accès to a HD of 160GB.
I've setted 'hdparm -d0 /dev/hdb' = no DMA; without that couldn't accès the HD. I've also a message 'Warning: could not read block 0: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read' on a mkfs.ext3 ... And after mounting a partition on it, can't no more unmount it. The activity hd-led remains on. The hd is a western Digital with 2MB cache geometry 19457/255/63 Any help would be very appreciated mess-mate -- You will be singled out for promotion in your work.
