Hi all, I'm new here and have a bit of a problem, not sure what sort of detaled info you will require to help, so please just ask and i will supply what I can

I have 2 80gb drives plugged into my FC1 system

they are detected as hdc and hdd (on ide1)

the bios detects them fine, here is the dmesg extract

Code:

now I ran smartctl -a /dev/hdd and the disk is reporting its fine and dandy, but i cant format it or mount it, or detect it with some disk tools
what could be the problem? all help appreciated

Thanks all

Welcome to LQ Pheo. I'm no expert, but obviously /dev/hdd isn't happy. Did hdc and hdd ever play nicely together in a previous life, or are these both new disks? If it's the latter, then perhaps hdd is defective in some way. Other questions: With hdd as the secondary slave, is it jumpered correctly? What are the results of running: fdisk -l ?

I'm afraid I can't offer any insight, but perhaps others can. Good luck with the project -- J.W.
