Very old IDE hard drive (240 MB) detected as 1.1 TB

[Hanno BÃck]

I was about to shred some old hard drives. On one Hard drive, identified as:
Conner Peripherals 240MB - CP30254

it was detected as 1.1 TB (!) and obviously throwing lots of errors after 
getting over 240 MB.

Is this issue worth investigating further? System is ubuntu 8.10. If anyone 
wants to have a deeper look, I can obviously donate that harddrive if you pay 
me shipping costs.

(Please reply to me personally, I'm not reading list-replies)

cu, Hanno
