Sounds like a 30-40GB drive?

finished. However from KNOPPIX, I can't mount the new drive. the mount command (sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1) fails with:
"Couldn't mount device '/dev/hdb1'. input/output error - mount failed".
Some things to do: -Check the kernel log (dmesg will dump it) for errors on hdb.
dmesg looks clean.
-Check the health of hdb (smartctl -a /dev/hdb)
smartctl reports no problems or errors. If I run smartctl -t short /dev/hdb followed by smartctl -l selftest /dev/hdb, there are no errors.
