Hello Bob,
Did you try "Writing All Zeros" to the WD drive from WD Utilities?
I'm currently using about fifteen WD drives (and one Maxtor). All are running
well on Linux, FreeBSD, and one even has Win98 too, in case I have to run
something in that. I don't let the Windows unit access the Internet though. ;-)
No, I didn't have the WD Utilities at the time I was having this problem, and had no Internet access. It was a frustrating mess.
I finally got Windows NT 4.0 up and am using that now to connect to the list. I really don't want to low level format the WD drive at this time, so I'm waiting for the Maxtor's return and will dedicate the Maxtor solely to Bamboo.
Thanks for the confidence vote in Western Digital drives.
I guess my suggestion to Tobi is still to try another drive to install Bamboo to.
Regards, The Other
