I tried reconfiguring the geometry of the hard drive by using my Linux Ubuntu Disk Utility, I changed it to {0-a5} which I heard was for FreeBSD, but still no luck. I still get the error, "read error, {0-01}" can someone please help me? Derek -- "I reject your reality and substitute my own" Adam Savage
