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

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
