    I can't use fusion IO iodrive2 duo(have already solved)

    I have problem in past with some missing structures on these disks (my error is "no media format found"). If you lost this structures (for example - you have interrupted fio-format operation) - disk is no more usable. It can be recovered only by manufacturer, who doesn't want to make any help.
