CAUSE
This behavior can occur if either of the following conditions is true: . Your computer uses an Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) hard disk
controller, and the following conditions are true:


. You use a standard
40-wire connector cable to connect the UDMA drive to the controller instead
of the required 80-wire, 40-pin cable. . The basic input/output system (BIOS) settings are configured to force the
faster UDMA modes.


. The file system is damaged and cannot be mounted

Yes. This is definitely a WinXP/SP2 issue. SuSE can read the NTFS partition in UDMA mode. The drive worked fine in UDMA mode with FAT32 before the conversion to NTFS.
