Hey all,
I have a Futura Mobile Storage Solution 3.5" External IDE HDD Enclosure
with USB 2.0 and Firewire support. I'm having problems using it with my
Firewire connection. I was thinking about submitting a report to
Bugzilla, but wanted to get some feedback first.
The drive that I placed inside the enclosure is a Western Digital
Protégé WD400EB-11CPFG0, with 40.0 fake GB.
Every time that this drive is hooked up to my computer in Fedora 9 (and
now Fedora 10) the system locks up hard. I had the drive connected
during install of Fedora 10, and the installation program kept
complaining about how the partition table on it was invalid, and asked
if I wanted to create a new partition table for it. At some random point
during the installation, the computer would lock up hard. The drive is
for backup only, so I unplugged it, restarted installation and
everything went fine.
The drive is formatted with NTFS, as it was originally inside a Windows
XP Pro computer, and I am now using it to back up my files on my laptop
while running Windows XP Pro. I tried repartitioning and reformatting in
Windows XP, but Fedora 10 installation complained again and the computer
locked up hard sometime later again.
Any thoughts?
Peace,
William
