I purchase a Maxtor 80 gig hard drive back in December. Worked great
for a couple months. The first 40 gigs I had partitioned as JFS using
ECS1.1 and Danis506 driver (1.67), and the last half had Linux
installed. It was slaved to my 40 gig WD drive. Suddenly it seemed to
have heat related errors, as it would work fine for about 20 minutes to
half an hour, then labor and give read errors. Using Maxblast
diagnostics, it passed every test. I still exchanged it under
warrenty,and installed it as the only drive on IDE 1.The replacement
would not  report size correctly until I used Maxblast to set it up.

Then using LVM, I deleted all the partitions, then created a new volume
as JFS. LVM allowed me to set up without rebooting, I then was able to
read/write to the Maxtor drive... until I rebooted. I then created a
fat16, hpfs, and jfs partitions. The next boot, hpfsmini trapped and I
could not start ECS. I then used Maxblast to clean and create one big
fat32 partition. Windows uses this fine. I then volumized it in ECS,
rebooted, and the drive letter dissappeared and the drive is unuseable
in ECS. (I have fat32.ifs working)

Is there something I can do, such as tweaking the dani driver to get
this drive working in os2? I have the K7TH-A motherboard with via 686
chipset, ATA-100 eide. Using the 80 wire cables with all drives set as
CS.
