Hi, I recently bought a Hitachi Deskstar drive (HDS722516VLAT80) onto which I was hoping to transfer my existing set up (since my current IBM drive has been making some funny noises and 'lost' a partition table last year). However, I am unable to partition this drive. I get a lot of errors like: ad3: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad3: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=0 ad3: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=84<ICRC,ABORTED> LBA=0 Every time I try to do anything with the drive. Fdisk whines as follows: fdisk: can't read fdisk partition table fdisk: /boot/mbr: length must be a multiple of sector size The BIOS on this board does not supports 48 bit addressing and so reports the drive as 137GB. Additionally, the mobo only supports UDMA 33. My question is whether this might be OS related or if I have a broken drive.
