HDD crashed and was not found

[fuck123]

I use Ubuntu 7.10 but upgraded to 8.04; At first ubuntu 7.10 ran with 3 HDD without problems at all and all drives were detected. During this upgrade one hdd crashed (IDE HDD Model IBM Deskstar DTLA-307030) and I can not fix this drive again - it is tired. Another drive (IDE HDD Model Seagate ST340810A) doesn't work either. The device manager detected this drive, but not correctly and the partition manager doesn't show this hdd in it's list.
Under Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 my hdd's workes and were supported. Why doesn't it work like it did in 8.04?

Can you confirm that 7.10 (Gutsy) still correctly detects your drives? It sounds like there could be other hardware trouble with your system.

If it is, we can probably see it's an issue with hardware support in the kernel.

Hi, thanks for reporting this to help make ubuntu better.

Could you please attatch/paste the output of the following commands:

lspci -vvnn
dmesg

Thanks

Thank you for your quickly answer.

to Troy Ready:

Sorry, you have right. That issue began with the installation of Gutsy. I believe I could read files from the Seagate HDD under Gutsy intermittently. With Feisty it works, but Hardy has generelly problems to use this device.
The Bios identified this Seagate drive correctly, but it isn't able to detect IBM Deskstar HDD. That drive is being ignored completely. Jumpers put rightfully and the cable and connectors also.

to bascule:

Ok, here the results of this commands:

lspci -vvnn

dmesg

 I have seen the result of the command dmesg and I think it is not good to have so many media errors. Maybe it is the reason for my issue?!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody!
After the appearance of ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex, I retried to solve
the problem with the hdd's. Both of them are seemingly irreparable.
I cannot work with it or format the devices and I think that settles the
case. The issue for the crash, how did it happen? - is non reproducible
for me.
The hdd's are broken and obsolete. Status unsolved!
