Hello Guys,

my Ricoh DSC 332 Printer stopped working and quited with an error Code I think it was 555 Harddrive error. as I removed both drives (40GB) from the printer it turns out that both have had a headcrash. With new 80 GB HDDs I tried to part them with ext3, ext4,jfs, fat32 etc. but nothing worked for me. So I ended up buying a harddrive Kit for the printer:

Now I got the harddrives and both look identical. On an other site they make a difference between the upper and the lower harddrive: http://copiersecurity.com/store/Hard-Drive-for-a-Gestetner-DSc332-Copier-HD-GE0332-1.html

saying that the HDDs contain a special kind of Software/Firmware written on it.

Whats the truth? Did I just bought very expensive IDE 40GB HDDs?

Please help. On Friday I´m home again and will try it.
