1 Hi,
2
3 My problem is really strange - I can't access my hard drive from linux,
4 but it works from windows without problems. It has some bad blocks.
5
6 I'm trying to access it from rescuecd which seems to be based on
7 gentoo - so it's not totally off topic :)

9 Here is dmesg: http://capsel.inten.pl/disk/dmesg
10
11 cat /dev/sda gives no output, fdisk fails with "unable to
12 read /dev/sda". smartctl does not report model or serial, there is no
13 error log... hdparm shows "Invalid exchange" or
14 "Inappropriate ioctl for device", all commands failed.
15
16 What else can I do?
