Hi,
i had the same problem and i found the following solution:
try to delete or set the "dos compatibility flag" on both drives.
You have to do this with fdisks c command.
For mee it looks as if one of your drives has this flag set and the another not.
I hope this helps

in addition to what has been said try zeroing the p
I had exactly the same experience with 2.2.13ac3 kernel, only setting disks to
NORMAL made fdisk to see them as two identical disks.
Does this influence the speed of disks in any way ?

Check your bios settings.. See if one is in LBA mode,etc..
Just ask you bios to autodetect the drives.
I believe the bios has three ways of accessing drives.. each way makes the harddrive
report different heads/sectors/etc.

I had _exactly_ the same problem. The only way I found around it was to
go into the BIOS and manually set both disks to NORMAL instead of LBA.
Attempting to set both to LBA didn't work. This is with RedHat 6.0 with
the 2.2.5-22 kernel. Perhaps this is fixed in a later kernel?

Hi,
I am in a bit of a pickle.
I am just setting up a system and have put in two identical disks as hda and hdc. fdisk
sees hda as having 255 heads and 63 sectors but hdc as having 16 heads and 63 sectors !
Now this gives me a big problem in that I bought two identical drives so that I could
