I couldn't even get past fdisk on that one. That merely looks like a controller (or controller driver) problem than a drive problem. My machine at work does also have a Fujitsu 2 GB 7200 rpm drive (it's always hard to remember Fujitsu's model numbers, but it's most likely the same as yours). It's sitting on an AHA-2940 (and later got a companion Quantum drive on the same bus), and i can only find good words for it. (fdisk... whats'at? :-) All my drives are dedicated, so i don't care for fdisk partitioning at all. I hope you didn't made the mistake and used the W)rite menu option in any of the sysinstall menus???) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
