Hi all,
I purchased two 160GB Seagate 7200.9 drives to go in my system recently. I installed Windows on the 1st HD, but hadn't tried to use the 2nd drive until now, and I'm having nothing but trouble with it
Basically I want to put Linux onto the spare HD for a dual-boot system, but I'm unable to partition it properly via windows or linux or anything else really.
Ok, the errors:
In Win2k SP4 (i have the 48bit patch thing applied), the first drive seems to be ok, but the 2nd one turns up the following error when running CHKDSK:
In Partition Magic 8, I get:
Using the Seagate tools:
Where C: is the drive with a working windows install, and D: is the problem drive.
I can't format or partition the drive using either the disk management software with windows, or with partition magic. I've not tried partitioning the C: drive yet as I don't want to lose my OS.
I've formatted, partitioned, and even done a low-level format (filled the whole drive with zeros) but none of these have fixed it. I can't install Windows or Linux onto the partition as they throw up errors. It is recognised in Windows when I format it as a whole drive and can have files stored on it, but nothing else.
Any ideas as to what I could do to fix it? Or any (free) programs that might be able to help?
Main system specs:
AMD Opteron 146
2GB Corsair ram
ASUS A8N32 mobo
Thanks to anyone sparing the time to help
