Can't format hard drive

Hello,

When I try to format my hard drive with dinit, I get the error message:
“DINIT: Write failed - Block 0: no such process”

When I try to mount the drive, it says “Corrupted file system detected”. But
dcheck says my disk is ok.
What can I do about this?

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

What command are you using (with arguments)

Have you created a partiton on the disk with fdisk?

Yes I did a partition on my disk with the command: “fdisk /dev/hd0 add qnx
all”
Then after reboot the hd0t77 appeared in /dev.

The command I am using to format is “dinit -h /dev/hd0t77”

The disk driver is devb-eide with the following arguments “devb-eide eide
chs,ata,nobmstr,udma=off”
These arguments are because the disk is a flash disk IDE 2000. It does not
support lba or ultra-dma. Otherwise it is interfaced just like any IDE disk.

(I’ve tried just devb-eide without arguments and it doesn’t change anything)

Thanks again!
