I tested that i could mount the hard disc in a Ubuntu live CD. I can, but I don't have the courage to make a new cd. I think it uses the libata module, but it doesn't work.

Dear Gunner,

I had exactly the same problem with 42 shiny new Dell boxes that spent their first months as very expensive paper weights...

In the end, I took a Linux kernel from a standard Fedora installation and put it into a Udpcast CD boot image using the image creator [http://udpcast.linux.lu/mkimagedoc.html]. To know which (S) ATA drivers you need exactly, boot Linux from a live cd and do an lsmod in a terminal. In my case, it was pata_ahci and ata_generic (IIRC). The busybox shell is no longer functioning on my new boot cd's, but at least I can clone again...

Held og lykke. Let me know how it went and whether I can be of further assistance...

2010/1/14 Gunner Poulsen gp@lyngbjerggaardskolen.dk Dear friends I use UDP-cast in my work as administrator on a school. It has worked brilliant for years :-) Now we have got 35 new labtops that I have to clone. But UDP-Cast can't find the harddisk :-( The hard discs are: ATA Hitachi hts542525k9sa00 UDP-cast just comes up with OTHER as harddisk partions to clone. Can anyone help? I beleve it is a fault in the driver.
