New Toshiba MK1231GAL not working
sordup:
Ah. Well yes, it's just that I've never got networking (therefor no internet) to work with the Knoppix liveCD. It tries to connect but fails.
I will try to figure this out and to follow your instructions and see what happens.
Continuing thanks for your time.
Chronon:
Try connecting via ethernet.
sordup:
I am connected via ethernet, assuming you mean by cable, i.e. not over wireless.
torne:
You could plug in a usb flash drive and copy the log files to there, and then upload them from your regular OS.
sordup:
@torne - followed your Linux instructions with my Knoppix LiveCD, got a kernel log but wasn't sure, from your example, what "device name" to use for hdparm. I tried several. It saw my disk and identified it correctly as a TOSHIBA MK1231GAL with its sectors and size. That name, however, yielded nothing in hdparm.
Unfortunately (I remember this from using this liveCD before) I am unable to write anything to any disc from within Knoppix (as if I don't have privileges or something), so I could not save the kernellog.txt to transfer it to this machine. And, as I said before, no networking or internet, so the best I could do is take a photo of the appropriate part of the log where it scans and identifies the drive. What followed this point in the log was a long series of I/O errors up to the end of log. I saw nothing within square brackets.
Don't know if this is any help. I'd like to help settle this issue for other users, but I did find out that my RMA request has been excepted on the drive so I'll be sending it back soon. If I can do anything else in a reasonably short amount of time I'd be happy to before I send it back.
