Hi there,
I did accidently a
> hdparm -s 1 -S 1 /dev/sdd

after this comand two of my Harddisks can not be recognized anymore by the controller.

I tried the Seagate Sea Diag Tool, which can not recognize the Controller at all. Not even a working Sata Drive can be recognized.

I need a Programm, to get Access to the Drive. The Dmesg output (Linux) tells, that a link to the drive can be established.
But when connecting Power to the Drive the motor does not spin up.
I think this could be because the Drive is in sort of a shutdown mode. In the manual it states, that some drives could take up to 30 seconds to respond. Well iam not shure, never thought this could happen to a drive during startup.

There must be some sort of Diagnosis Software, to get some infos from the drive, since I can get a link (SATA link up 1.5 Gbps) it must be possible to get data from it. Though the Controller says, that the drive is not recognized. Its not bound into the system, so I can not access it via /dev/sdd




SATA Controller: Silicon Image PCI Card
SiI3114 - PCI to 4 Port SATA150
