Drive Dead?
Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2010 1:54 am
I installed my 2nd HD with no problem, but I now have a problem with the third that I wanted to add to greyhole
I followed the following wiki again
http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding_ ... o_your_HDA
And everything was going fine, till I used gparted.
All disk were visible including the new third disk. I deleted the 2 old windows partitions and created one ext4 partition
After completion gparted scanned the disks again, but the only found my 2 older ones! So the new disk I added and re-partitioned was gone.
Also when I now use
Only the old drives are shown.
The drive could be dead, since I took it from an old PC which died, but in the store they said it had to do with a motherboard failure. But strange that it did show up at first and now is gone.
R.I.P. little disk, or something else, any ideas?
Thanks

Code: Select all
ls -1 /dev/disk/by-id/ | egrep -v "part|scsi"
