are very bad signs. Nine times out of ten it means the drive is dead, |
| 14 |
or nearly so. The few times it's not a dead/dying drive, is usually due |
| 15 |
to dma not being supported, or a bad cable. Given that dd is not |
| 16 |
working, and nothing seems able to actually write to the drive, I'm |
| 17 |
leaning towards a dead drive. |

As a last ditch attempt, you could try reseating the power and ide |
| 20 |
cable on the drive, as well as the motherboard end of the ide cable. If |
| 21 |
you have another system laying around, you could put the problem drive |
| 22 |
in there to confirm it is a drive problem. |
