[Ma-linux] How do I partition a SATA-3 HD on Centos 5

[Tim Weil]

I've installed a 500 Mb WD Caviar Green HD (Sata3) in my Centos 5 Server
(AMD QuadCore) - Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP (x86_64)

Fdisk keeps failing with the following message -
kernel: ata1: SError: { HostInt Handshk }

So far I've gotten 1 response -
  Well try the basics first?  Replace cables (sata power)
  Still giving you issues try the 1.5gbs limiting jumper...

And a pointed to the Linux SATA HomePage
  http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html

Thanks in Advance
