OK, if this is a timeout, then you would need to find why this timeout happens.

There are two probabilities:

1)	A cabling problem

2)	This is PATA and you have a hard disk at the same cable.

In case of 1), check or replace the cables, make sure that the OS is set up for
UDMA to the drive (this requires a 80 wire cable - unfortunately the drive 
manufacturers deliver only 40 wire cable).

In case of 2) use the -immed option.
