I had the same proble with may Seagate 40 gigz when I format it from
System Configuration Tools in KDE. My solution is format it from
diskdrake, but You should boot with non grafical (with no X). I used to
boot with FailSafe.
I hope it's usefull idea.

[newbie] problems with 160GB disk

2004-02-02 Thread Raffaele Belardi 
I recently installed a Maxtor Diamond Plus 160Gb HD as hdb, MDK9.2 is on 
a 40Gb hda. I partitioned hdb into three partitions, 1Gb+80Gb+80Gb.

I've had twice already the boot process stop with the message File 
system inconsistency, run fsck manually. Running fsck did find and 
correct litterally hundreds of errors.

Has anybody had problems with large capacity disks in MDK9.2? I'm using 
an Asus P5A-B motherboard.

thanks,

ok, I should have been more precise: in reality I have 1G+79G+80G, so 
that should not be the problem :-)

Any other idea?

Is it a problem to have 161Gb of partitions on a 160 Gb drive? The addition 
says that is what you have. HTH

I am running a 120Gb disk in my machine and that never gave me a problem 
so far...
