Does BIOS scan the drive at all? Have you checked the connections? There is really no way for software to kill a drive. It may be the drive actually had a hardware failure. Closing due to inactivity. |

All hardware detection was OK, all partitioning was OK most of the software installation went well but everytime the system would crash with the above error mesage. One time I tried to setup the system as a Server and allowed it to configure and partition the hard drive automatically - all appeared to go well - including - partitioning, formatting, software installation, creation of boot disk etc -. However when the system was rebooted from the hard drive there was no response from the system after going through the bios, rebooting with the boot disk made during setup only returned a series of errors - such as "could not mount filesystem". I gave up after a while and decided to remove Linux from the hard drive, however the hard drive was inaccessible to fdisk, Partition Magic and Norton utilities - on rebooting the PC, the hard drive was not identified or detected by the bios at all. Result : One dead hard drive, one pissed off Linux convert who has been forced back to using Microfuct Wankers yet again. Regards Arie Hol
