On the machine that told me that I do not have permission running as su - root user, since I updated it to Fedora Core 5 problem ( with hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc) was solved. On another machine running FC4, it has never denied me the right to hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc here it goes [olivares@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 [olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz) [olivares@localhost ~]$ su - Password: [root@localhost ~]# hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) [root@localhost ~]# So I wonder now if it is on machine basis, dvd drives/hard drives. Everything is working nicely on this older machine. What could be happening. Regards, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
