Actually I've seen several CFs fail when used in LBA mode, not just=20 those partitioned with cfdisk. I claim there's either a problem of the manufacturers taking commands with LBAs or some driver problem on the linux to address the CFs correctly. Anyway, I see this as rather minor; drop down to CHS in BIOS and everything works fine (here at least). --=20 Servus, Daniel --=-WwB0E8sROFFbo1dD24Bb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+jaGychlzsq9KoIYRAnGuAKDfOmZWvV/les4z1RPmdxwKDNnLpgCdEouy vap8ZfW0ztYXZmF0sO1R3G4= =YBXF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-WwB0E8sROFFbo1dD24Bb--
