Have you used "Use hard drive optimisations (may cause data corruption)"
at Install time?

If so, try to remove the "autotune" parameter from your boot parameters.

[Cooker] Disk Drake beta-2 ISO install

2000-09-21 Thread Oliver Stieber

Diskdrake 7.2 (not 7.1 /7.0 they work fine) appears to have a problem
detecting partitions when my dvd drive is pluged in.

eg

hda = 20gb ibm
hdb = dvd drive
hdc = 20gb ibm
hdd = ide cd-rw

hda will fail to detect (bad magic number in partition table)

when i do

hda = 20gb ibm
hdb = ide cd-rw
hdc = 20gb ibm
hdd = dvd drive

hdc fails to detect correctly

when i do

hda = 20gb ibm
hdb = ide cd-rw
hdc = 20gb ibm

all is ok...

all drives are on udma66 leads,
i also have a hpt470 (aka hpt466) with nothing pluged in as ide2/3

(this pc dosn't have 2 extended partition tables like my other one ;-)
