Hi,

Guess who's trying to install 250 GB drives?

Right, having a little trouble with it.


I have followed (I think) the big disk build in the FAQ.

I used your big disk builder (created 09/28/2006) that I had great success with ror multiple 120 GB drives.

This formatted (I assume it also partitions it too), the drive and stressed the disk successfully.

I then used the new hijack car2_v2.01_hijack (created 06/23/07) as directed in the FAQ.

After the reboot, it found the drive but not the file system (see attached). This occurred after several attempts.

I also tried to partition it manually from another FAQ, which seemed to work, but I had trouble with formatting the drive. I eventually scribbled on the boot partition and started over with your programs.


Here's where I get embarrassed now, what am I missing? I know, I know you warned us all that there might be problems with this size drive...

Have others been successful with 250 GB drives?

Got any ideas?

Thanks,

Ross
