[MLB-WIRELESS] HDD question

[Lincoln Smith]

Heya

I have this 2GB laptop drive that used to be the system disk for my firewall.  One day it got rebooted by accident, and it cracked the @#*@ saying it was missing a superblock, then it just refused to even look at the disk.  Suffice to say it seems to be no longer useable.  No computer or OS will recognise it (although it shows up in the BIOS).  Windows won't look at it while linux hangs on the partition listing during Kernel startup.  That said when i run the IBM disk tool on it (It's an IBM drive) it says the drive is fine.  It reads and writes to it with no problems.  I can even low level format it and zero all the contents, check for bad sectors you name it it works.

It's got me stumped...Any ideas?

Cheers
Lincoln Smith
