Hi all, I'm using Redhat Enterprize 3 WS with dual boot windows XP.(I'm using 3rd party boot loader-Acronis-). In recent 2 weeks I lost 2 hard drives.
Here is the problem;
My linux crashes out of the blue and no controls works, a total crash. So it forces me to hard boot from the power button. When computer passes the bios screen, it end ups a black screen with a blue (bios like): "Enter HD0 Psswd" in the middle of the screen. Since i didn't get the password right it gives me an error message: "HDD Locked".
After that I can boot with floppy or CDROM. I tried to install windows It said "Hitachi 60 Gig hard drive .But windows cannot reach it".
I tried to install linux, it found the hard drive but couldn't format it. I tried to boot it from disk. it found the hard drive but couldn't read it..
I opened up the computer and removed the internal clock battery to clear anything set up in the bios. But, no help.
I ran diagnostic from CDROM, it passed everything except "HDD Controller failed"
Then I changed my hard drive. a week later I ended up same thing?
Can redhat damage the disk? or can I anyway work around this problem?
