Problem SOLVED - but another problem pop-up. Writing to a disk is not reliable. I was right, I've missed some setting in the Kernel, Device Drivers: ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support (x) Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support (x) Generic PCI IDE Chipset support (x) VIA82Cxxx Shipset support #I have this chipset
The first two option must have been the culprit of my problems. To write two files (44Mb +11Mb =55MB total) to a CDRW it tooks me about 2min. When I open the drive I can see those two files there 11MB and 44MB But when I try to copy them back to Hard Drive I get and I/O error So much if I was relying on these disks for real backup :-/ I would be convinced that the files are there but if I needed them in emergency I would get an I/O error. -- #Joseph On Mon, 2005-08-08 at 15:46 -0700, Raymond Lillard wrote: > Neil Bothwick wrote: > > On Mon, 08 Aug 2005 14:19:46 -0500, Roy Wright wrote: > > > > > >>My system has two SATA WD Raptors for hard disks.
