I found this problem on the kanotix forums and a link to the reason for
the problem:

"It's basically because of faulty SATA implementation of the affected
seagate hard drives combined with standard-compliant but peculiar
behavior of silicon image controllers."
Anyway, not wanting to take any chances I am thinking about a Samsung
hard drive -- any thoughts?
BTW. What is the best Linux tool for putting a partition table on a
*new* hard drive?
I ask because it has happened to me in the past that QTParted can't
handle *new* drives with no partition table on them.
Blessings,
Nigel
