Keywords: IDE Disk Conner wd0 timeout I installed from the Walnut Creek 2.0.5 CD onto a Conner EIDE CFS1275A disk drive (1.2gb). The install went as expected using a DOS partition as the install media. But when I'm up and running I get this message repeated several times on the console: wd0 interrupt time out wd0: status 58 <seekdone,drq> error 0 The system stays up and seems to operate(I've just started using it) I think the Conner drive is going into a power saving mode and these messages are generated on the 1st disk access thereafter. My P75 motherboard has a BIOS option for power save and I've turned it off (keep the disk spinning). But I think the Conner is still spinning down for power saver. Looks like a MB BIOS or a disk BIOS problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
