DMESG: This is one of the fun ones. try cfdisk and partedit, I think cfdisk will be more verbose and might tell you it is refused to seek() the drive... if thats the case, its probably the controller (or driver) being odd on you. Had this recently when a 250Gb disk was recognized as 655535Mb . Which is wrong ;) However, I got around it by formatting it in another machine, the drive works perfectly, (it seems, guess I'll know more later;) Though there may be some obscure config option in the IDE/ATA part of the kernel config to avoid this kind of situation. //Spider -- begin .signature Tortured users / Laughing in pain See Microsoft KB Article Q265230 for more information. end signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
