SATA, fdisk mount problem

[davood_firoozian]

Hia,

I recently installed new seagate ST3500830AS(500GB) harddrive into my debian box (debian 3.1) , but when I was trying to fdisk or cfdisk the device cfdisk (fdisk) hangs with no response. I thought it is a HW problem and changed the drive. at first everything goes nice, 1- 4G swap, and 2- 2*250 raiser drives but mkswap says swap drive boundary has a problem.
I tested partitions with fdisk -l and there was no swap drive, and after that again cfdisk fdisk dd or any command on the drive hangs.
I can't kill even with -9 this hanged processes. after killing they are still there.
