E16 - unable to locate internal HDD

[tdamgaard]

   

Got the 1.5 TB Samsung SpinPoint F2EG (HD154UI) and I though it worked, but no... :smileysad:

 

Now I'm getting E04 (flash error) with firmware 2.10 - any ideas?

 

Update: Booted the box into EM mode and then rebooted it... now it's works again. :smileytongue:

Re-confirm: The Samsung HD154UI SpinPoint 1.5TB upgrade works fine.

WD Caviar WD20EARS 2TB works fine in my LS-Pro.. using the standard TFTP Boot Recovery process and without any kind of special formatting.

 

Question to anyone - has anyone tackled the 4k sector size issue with "Advanced format" hard drives like the WD Caviar. I have a feeling the LS-Pro formats with standard 512b sector size.. which will probably reduce the efficiency of this drive (at least).

 

I'm thinking of pulling the data off the drive, reformatting each partition with 4k sector size and copying it back on.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I have two HS-DHGL Linkstations with FW2.10. Other with WD20EADS-32R6B0 works OK after power on, but  WD15EADS-00P8B0 (same as in 1st message) does not work and after power on ther is a Error 1 long and 6 shorts. If I do TFTP Boot then it starts to work until new power on and same fault again. With Samsung 500 Gb HD501LJ FW2.10 works OK. So there is a incompatibility with HS-DHGL and WD15EADS, but what?
