Which pc3k do you have?
UDMA or PCI?
I don't think that the PCI version supports this drive, UDMA surely!

[dmarques]

Yep. UDMA supports it.

[hhddrec]

Yep. UDMA supports it.

opss, i have UDMA version.

HITACHI-IBM-ARM family below HITACHI-IBM, which is the default family

I'm not at work right now, but I believe this drive is ARM.

[dmarques]

Yep, I also think that's ARM (if I remember well).

With that menu you don't have UDMA..only Pc3000....then you can forget to work with ARM drives.
Is it a nice Chinese version perhaps

Should look like this:

Most possibly this is an outdated UDMA version. When did you update it last? If more than a year ago, then you have old version and you need to update it.

[mr_spokk]

5.2.6 is that latest as I know...go to your updatebox and upgrade.
