Hard Drive - Cannot record fast enough

[any-mgzt]

Thanks again, the spts mode and use spts mode fix AVIA500are on.

The 20gb drive took 2 hours to format, now I find on reboot it is not mounting the partionns at all.

Will remove IDE interface and check all connections are clean, box was full of dust when I bought it.

I am about to give up on this I have checked all connections and they are good removed Interface and cleaned all connectors etc, refitted. Pre formatted hard drive to XFS format using gparted in ubuntu, fitted hard drive in dbox, using C12 followed all directions given above, still get error message cannot record to mounted partion. This is after the now 3 hours for C12 to format and check file system (20gb drive).
