Old drive - new machine?

by Richard Goodman

I have a RedHat 7.3 server that is sick. It would appear that there are all kinds of hard disk errors but I don't think its the hard drive because its done it with two new hard drives. I'm guessing its the on-motherboard disk controller. It will boot up okay, but after a (steadily decreasing) amount of time the errors begin again and the hard drive light stays on. The question is: the motherboard is an old Socket-7 AT Epox which I can't replace exactly -- what are the issues involved with swapping the drive (which I believe is okay) into a new machine with a different motherboard, without reloading RH 7.3 or my data?

You shouldn't have any problems doing this. If you have the kudzu service turned on, it should even migrate to new hardware automatically. -- Charles R.

NEW Pioneer DVD-RW A05 for sale

by Skip Gaede

Folks, Ever made a mistake? I did. I purchased a new DVD-RW drive to replace the unit I thought was defective. After the unit arrived (Thursday) I subsequently trace the problem to an intermittent IDE cable. I'd like to sell the new one if anyone's in the market. The A05 is a 4X drive, and I paid $225.00. for it. I'd be happy to sell it for a reduced price of $200.00 if anyone's interested. Thanks, Skip

Woops. Sorry, I didn't see this message before. First, let me admit that I don't understand most of what is here, but I'll try. It says that some drives don't like fixation in dummy mode, so have you tried burning for real without dummy mode? And why does it list the average write speed as 191.3x?

I still don't see any attachments. I think you have to send it as inline text. Greg Stéphane Purnelle wrote: > Le sam 24/05/2003 à 06:46, Gregory Avedissian a écrit : > >>Where's your output file?

Where's your output file? Maybe attachments don't work on this list. Did you identify the drive as scsi at boot up and load module ide-scsi? What's the output of cdrecord -scanbus look like?
