hi all, i have a 40gig IDE drive on a dual800 system running debian 2.2. bios did not detect this drive correctly.
however, an fdisk on the /dev/hdb could see the drive, and i made a partition /dev/hdb1 which was all 40 gig ext2. when copying files over to this drive, i always get errors. by that i mean i run fsck on the drive and there are errors. as soon as the fsck is finished i run it again and there are errors again. its now to the point where i cant even mount the drive read/write because there are so many errors! is the drive simply too big? am i getting these errors because bios didnt detect them?
