I have put in it a spare 80 GB SATA drive. My intention is to use the drive to store data on it rather than boot a distro. I have formatted the drive a number of times to EXT3 and 4 and also FAT 32 and none of them works well. I can write some data to it but it keeps locking when I try to transfer a large file say something like a file with a few music tracks on it. I tested the drive and its ok.<br><br>Any ideas?<br><br>Mo<br><br><br></div>
