You should have a HDD drive ther. Something like: scsi2 : sata_via ata3.00: ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 160836480 sectors: LBA48 ata3.00: ata3: dev 0 multi count 0 ata3.00: configured for UDMA/33 scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA HDS728080PLAT20 PF2O PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 SCSI device sda: 160836480 512-byte hdwr sectors (82348 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sda: write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA SCSI device sda: 160836480 512-byte hdwr sectors (82348 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sda: write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sda: sda1 sda2 sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda > My next step will be repeating everything with a different internal HD > and share my results And?
