unable to mount, first aid or format a partition

[dambrow]

hello all

 

i am having a bit or trouble installing iatkos v7 on my pc.

 

i first boot up in verbose mode (command -v) as i have better look in verbose and during boot up it states that it is unable to mount

 

/dev/disk0 error 0x0000000047

/dev/disk1 error 0x0000000047

/dev/disk2 error 0x0000000047

/dev/disk5 error 0x0000000047

 

once the disk loads up i select disk ultilty and try to manual mount disk5 i get an error saying to try and run first aid first then try again. so after clicking on first aid i find out the the options are greyed out and i connot perform the action. i then proceed to format thinking if it can format it i should be able to mount it and be ok. i select mac os journaled and click erase. it looks fine preparing to erase then finishes but i find out that the partion is now a RAW and is still unable to mount.

 

i have windows installed on disk1 and used windows to create the new partion. after a few fail attempts i used easus partion manager to format the partion as ext 3 but still wont format the partion when booted from iatkos

 

what is going on i have never had any trouble installing it on my old mb witch was a pentium D dual core @ 3.40GHz with 3GB of DDR 2 ram and a cheap basic foxconn mb

 

my current specs and the computer i am having trouble with is

 

ASUS M5A78L-MUSB3

AMD Athlon II X4 640 @3.0GHz

4GB DDR3 RAM

ATI radeon HD 3000 1GB video card (connected via HDMI)

Realtek 8111E PCIe Gb LAN

AMD 760G(780L)/SB710 Chipset

VIA VT1708S 8-channel high definition Codec

 

many thanks

Low level format the drive with tools issued by the drive manufacturer. Seagate offers Seatools which can run from Windows or from a bootable CD. Other manufacturers will have similar tools for download.
