I/O error unable to open MFS Drives

I was using the following command to add a new B drive to my 60 hour series 2.

mfsadd -x -r 4 /dev/hda /dev/hdb

I received an I/O error that MFS tools was not able to open MFS drives.

I am adding a WD 120GB drive. I originally ran blesstivo on it and my series two did not recognize it. I was told to run mfsadd as stated above but it won't work.

Please can someone help me!

Thanks!

I forgot to add that while booting into Linux it recognized my Primary Master correctly as well as my new 120MB B drive and the full size of the original 60MB A Drive. Any help would be great....
