[Freemint-list] MiNT 1.19 and SCSI drive

[Miro Kropáček]

This may be a stupid question but are you sure the disk is OK? I mean, the
first partition can be fine but rest of it can be dead (reading about its 4
GB capacity makes me wonder how old really is...).

if you have another one to try with similar setup it would help. Also, you
can try to make several smaller partitions (say the original P: was 1 GB so
make four 256 MB + several others) and if copying still works only on the
first four partitions, you have your answer.
