Re: how to format mySeagate ST33210A
Jumping in the middle here, so pardon me if I'm way off. Is your Seagate
ST33210A an IDE drive?

You mean the disk it asks for after you boot the 'rescue" disk, right?

Debian 1.0? I'm going to assume you mean 2.0, in which case I have the
same disks...

Your dmesg report doesn't mention /dev/hdd or the Seagate drive at all. I
think that is the problem right there. /dev/hdd would be secondary slave
IDE I think. Can anything (maybe the BIOS) find the drive?
If you can run without the CD-ROM temporarily, how about setting the
Seagate as primary slave in place of the CD-ROM which is now /dev/hdb
Again, I'm sorry if I'm way off on this, I just finally saw something I
thought I might be able to answer.
