It has some bad blocks. I'm trying to access it from rescuecd which seems to be based on gentoo - so it's not totally off topic :) Here is dmesg: http://capsel.inten.pl/disk/dmesg cat /dev/sda gives no output, fdisk fails with "unable to read /dev/sda". smartctl does not report model or serial, there is no error log... hdparm shows "Invalid exchange" or "Inappropriate ioctl for device", all commands failed. What else can I do? --=20 Kacper Kopczy=C5=84ski
