I am trying to use g4u 2.5 to clone a sata drive. On an older machine 
with ide disks it has no difficulty finding the disks but with the newer 
machine the disk I want to clone as wd0 is detected plus a second disk 
wd1 as shown by dmesg, but running the disks command gives a repeating 
error message  that it is having problems detecting the partitions.

"wd0d device fault reading fsbn 0 (wd0 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0),retrying"

If I try the partition check on this disk I get a similar response, but 
if I try partition check on wd1 it works correctly. Both disks are sata 
types but wd0 has logical volumes on it, while wd1 just has normal 
partitions.

Is it safe to do a copydisk operation in these circumstances to a third 
sata disk that I havn't  yet tried in place of wd1.

wd0 has Fedora16 32b on it while wd1 has win7 64.

Back in 2006 I used g4u 2.2 to clone a disk and sent a donation to you!
