Denis:
Could you expand on how you arrived at your conclusion? Is there a problem
with some or all WD drives and LM7.2? Does it extend to other hard drives? I
thought that they were all pretty much the same. While I don't have a WD
disk, I have been having problems getting a stable installation of LM7.2 on
my Fujitsu 15.3 drive -- gonna make another try tonight -- and I wonder if
I've missed something.
Regards,
cmg
