Ok. The Bios seems to be reporting the drive details correctly. The drive is a 120GB Samsung which previously ran the UK TiVo package (upgraded). I have tried two different PC's using hdcb, hdc & hdd! Still, the nic_install software refuses to recognise initrd or mount var partion hdx9!!
Any suggestions would be appreciated as this is driving me round the twist. Can samsung drives be locked / unlocked?
Thanks
Richard
