Reinit'ing doesn't reinit

micrauft · 05-05-2006, 05:27 PM

I have a snap 1000, ver2. It came with a 10 gig drive, and i am replacing with a much better 80 gig hdd. I imaged the first 64 megs of the original HD onto the brand new samsung.

I put it in, and it showed up as 10 gigs.
I ran the config devices format 10000 /reinit and rebooted. after booting up, it seems to do anything different. I STILL shows 10 gigs.

Any ideas?
Would upgrading to a newer OS help? its currently at Software: 2.2.393
Hardware: 3.1.1
Serial: 103302
BIOS: 2.1.363

I would update it, but I can't seem to find a new OS. Can anyone help me out?

Try "co de format 10000 /reinit" it seams to work when the other doesn't.

ooh, ive tried that, and every other command similar to it, with no results. I'm currently getting the latest 3.4 release for my snap, and im going to see if that helps
thanks anyway

Try copying only the first 25 meg, you may have copied some drive tables that affect it. I do know with FreeBSD it will not over write a partition. You have to whip the MBR tables first.

I assume the 10 gig is still working.

What did you use to copy the boot tracks with? It must be able to do a RAW copy.
