[13:59] Maaz: apt show mbr [13:59] tumbleweed: Master Boot Record for IBM-PC compatible computers.: The MBR is used in booting operating systems from the hard disk. It runs first, then transfers control to the operating system's loader which transfers control to the kernel. [13:59] nope tumbleweed [13:59] but most of thet ime, we have grub in the mbr [14:00] can one apt-get it? [14:00] yes [14:00] did you do anything special to not have grub in the mbr? [14:00] i got no mbr so that needs fixing first [14:00] no [14:00] we normally install grub as the mbr [14:01] drive shows 2 TB unallocated but unable to write to it at all [14:01] no partition tools work [14:01] that's got nothing to do with MBRs [14:01] this is a new 2TB disk? [14:01] no old one that crashed when trying to install ubuntu ver and over [14:02] how are you accessing it now? from a live CD? [14:02] then found its the HD204UI firmware that marks those blocks as bad when other software tries to get in [14:02] yip from UBCD [14:02] bios sees it fine [14:03] can you pastebin /proc/partitions? [14:03] tried installing or parting with everything i got [14:03] how will i fing that? [14:03] find [14:04] if i use it as second drive pc hangs before booting [14:04] lemme try 12.04 live again === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [14:10] 3rd attempt 12.04 seems to be booting [14:11] first said no OS insert system disk twice [14:11] grrr [14:12] but that started the prob tumbleweed , it only accepted win7 once then nothing after that again [14:12] 12.04 struggling to get gowing [14:22] tumbleweed, http://slexy.org/view/s2dmxnuBzW [14:28] and gedit popped up a message with that saying it had changed [14:30] oh just twigged, you meant the mbr package in the repos? [14:30] Kilos: yes [14:31] Kilos: ok, doesn't look like it can see a partition table on there at all [14:31] did you have anything of any value on that disk? [14:31] the drive wont letanything write to it [14:31] nope its one of ians hear to try be repaired [14:31] maybe the drive is totally dead? [14:32] that's my bet [14:32] it worked on 7 and when i tried 12.04 a few times then it crashed [14:32] run a full SMART test on it? [14:32] (smartmontools package) [14:33] must i mount it first before installing smartmontools [14:34] no [14:34] sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt? [14:34] oh just install from live cd? [14:34] yeah, you can install packages while you are using the live CD [14:34] (until you run out of RAM) [14:35] eek [14:35] ok i gotta take modem there [14:35] wbb [14:37] magespawn: ping [14:54] hey superfly [14:57] magespawn: we're heading up to KZN for a holiday/friend's wedding, and thought it might be nice to head up your way - know anywhere a family of 4 can spend a night or two for relatively little?
