I set -A1m16c3d1u1 on /dev/hda last night, and powered off. THis morning my BIOS hangs when it tries to auto-detect the drive, and when I boot into LiveCD and try to run hdparm the console shows these errors:

Code:

hda: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatus Error }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xea

The drive is a 7200R/80GB Maxtor. The only settings that were different before I applied the changes were -c (default 1) and -A (default 0).

Once before i tweaked hdparm and had a drive fail almost immediately afterward. In both cases the drives were about 2 years old. Can any of the settings I applied cause the drive to completely fail?

[solution]

Code:

hdparm -A0 /dev/hda
