Jim, Have a look in /var/log/messages for errors coming from the sd driver (e.g. it could be stuck on a READ CAPACITY or MODE SENSE command). Other than that it could be a problem with devfs. You could make a temporary device node (e.g. 'cd /root; mknod my_sda b 8 0') then try fdisk on my_sda. Doug Gilbert
