You might try "hdparm - U" then "hdparm - R", but FIRST READ THE MAN PAGE about hdparm, and contents of "/usr/share/doc/packages/hdparm"!
I have NEVER tried this myself, so do it on your own risk. (allthough I don't think it can do any real damage except mess your data, but you are doing regular backups, aren't you?)
Well this partially worked. I went into /usr/share/doc/packages/hdparm which includes the shell scripts idectl and ultrabayd, which i used the idectl script to turn off the ide bay so that i could remove it and that worked great. here is the command used "idectl 1 off". Now when i put the new device into the bay and issue the command "idectl 1 on" it does not turn it back on and give this error "/dev/hdc: No such file or directory". Why would /dev/hdc be missing and why is it calling it when i issue the on option of the script. I am thinking that there is something wrong with the script i may have to issues some hdparm command instead.

well i tried a "makedev hdc in /dev/" i got hdc to show back up, but still i get the same error when issuing "idectl 1 on" why? seems kind of strange. Anyone have any ideas? - Cameron
anyone have any ideas? I tried this again after a reboot and still does the same thing. -Cameron
