Derek, The log details follow, but we think we;ve found the porblem and
that is that the drive has somehow lost its partitions. That said my
machine gives a fatal error message when I try 'cfdisk'. Hopefully will
get it up to my friendly linux guru today/tomorrow to run a couple of
test on his and also try the the 'cfdisk' and 'mkfs'.
In the meantime the DSE Development Engineer is downloading the 10.2
ISO's (They're running 10.1 on their test machine at the moment) so he
can run the tests in the workshop.
