ok I try to do a auto install on my 200 gig drive in what was a working system before i decided to do a clean install. I accept all defaults and it begins to format the drives after partitioning. it gets through hda1 hda2 but on hda3 it returns error: formatting of /dev/hda3 failed. Some messages from mkfs.ext3: Writing inode tables: 1/1477 3/1477 5/1477 .......... keeps going but when I immeadatly go to a terminal window ctrl alt f2 and run the command mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 /dev/hda3 the format runs and completes successfully. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I"m desperate for help. |

ok to add to this it looks like it also is outputting "warning had trouble writing out superblocks.done" does this lead to a dead drive? Not looking forward to that. |
