Are You able to get into w$?
i installed knoppix to my seagate baracuda 160gb, on a 10gb partition, but it refused to boot. i could select windows or linux from LILO, but when i choose either, it just gave ma a blank screen.
So i formatted the disk again, but when i rebooted, it said the hdd was 0gb, and its name had changed from ST3160021A to ST>1<0<2!! or something similar... and now nothing can read the hdd. Any ideas? could it have been knoppix that did this? thanks either way

w$?
Sorry... Windows.
no nothing can read/write the drive....
also, the only way i can boot knoppix is to disconnect the hdd, as knoppix crashes on startup when it tried to search the hdd for a home directory or sumething like that
iirc, some drives that are big have a parrtition which has something the disk needs to work properly, thats all i can say.
Does this mean that KNOPPIX delete that partition?
It sounds strange; usually linux is know to be very respecfull of data.
No but the problem is with the new 2.6 kernel. Your partition table is corrupted and can be repaired as adviced in SUSE's page http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/0...booting91.htmlOriginally Posted by georgewh
The problem is that the BIOS and Linux 'see' different disk geometries AND The Windows partition is > 8 GB. Activate LBA from BIOS and check that hard disk value IS NOT set to AUTO.

i tried this, but when i add the 'driver update' for the suse installation, it sees the hdd as 160gb, and says that the partition table is 'OK', and doesnt change anything, however, it wont install, as it says its unable to create partition hda2.Originally Posted by tr
when i reboot, it detects the name correctly, but after i try to access the drive, it becomes unreadable again
also, the 'auto' setting in my bios has always worked correctly before, with LBA enabled. the only other setting i have in the bios is 'auto, disabled, cdrom', so i have no choice
but thanks for your help anyway!

Did You clik "ENTER" when You scroll between "AUTO CDROM DISABLE"? If not You have to do this after You see "AUTO".
