Make sure you use an up to date version as is here: http://files.hddguru.com/download/Softw ... ia473b.zip
Or you can set the sata port to compatibility/ide mode in the motherboard bios.

Now you have to connect the drive to a motherboard sata port and run Victoria again.

There might be some other unknown problem with your setup. Maybe some kind of bios incompatibility? (I'm just guessing here). I think you need to have the easy bit working before you move on to the more complicated part.
Also as you say the boot up is slow with the drive connected I would leave the computer standing for at least 20 mins to allow for the faulty drive to come ready. It might not of course. And only use sata from now on.

Yes you are right but to dive in and run terminal commands, do you think that would be better?Spildit wrote:dick wrote:I still think you need to try this on another pc in ide/compatibility mode.

... Pray that the heads and/or sliders of the damaged drive are not in contact with the platter ... I don't think that leaving the drive at least 20 mins working without knowing the condition of it would be a good idea but you guys know best so ... moving on....

According to my last checkups: the drive appears in the BIOS, it does not appear in Windows 10, it shows up in Lubuntu as unknown or unmountable and it does appears on terminal if I type lsblk
