Hi, IIRC if the disk has already a partition (e.g. from ia32 or something else) you have to zero out the first sectors in order to be reconized. I am allways doing dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mydiscdev count=100 bs=512 Unfortunately this should be done on an other machine or on other OS on the same machine (if available). After this the disk is recognized. I think this is written somewhere in the docs/faqs or mailarchives. Regards, Johny.
