Ubuntu Problem with damaged hard drive during bootup

Hello,

I have a problem with the hard drive connected to my setup. When I connect the HDD which is damaged, and try to bring up my system, I get some error messages continuously on my console saying

Code:
ata2.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 frozen
ata2.01: failed command: READ DMA
ata2.01: cmd c8/00:08:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/f0 tag 0 dma 4096 in
         res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata2.01: status: { DRDY }
ata2.00: SRST failed (errno=-19)

After some time, the system boots up well. Whenever I try to execute some command related to HDD, it is struck.

How can I avoid the delay that is being taken initially during bootup?

Is there any way in the driver code where we can say kernel not to probe for the HDD if it is not able to recognize it well? Please help me...

Thanks in advance...

Regards,
Sai

NAME
sotruss - trace shared library procedure calls SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/sotruss [-f] [-F bindfromlist] [-T bindtolist] [-o outputfile] executable [ executable arguments...] DESCRIPTION
sotruss executes the specified command and produces a trace of the library calls that it performs. Each line of the trace output reports what bindings are occurring between dynamic objects as each procedure call is executed. sotruss traces all of the procedure calls that occur between dynamic objects via the Procedure Linkage Table, so only those procedure calls which are bound via the Procedure Linkage Ta- ble will be traced. See Linker and Libraries Guide OPTIONS
-F bindfromlist A colon-separated list of libraries that are to be traced. Only calls from these libraries will be traced. The default is to trace calls from the main executable only. -T bindtolist A colon-separated list of libraries that are to be traced. Only calls to these libraries will be traced. The default is to trace all calls. -o outputfile sotruss output will be directed to the outputfile. If this option is combined with the -f option then the pid of the executing program will be placed at the end of the filename. By default sotruss output is placed on stderr. -f Follow all children created by fork() and print truss output on each child process. This option will also cause a pid to be output on each truss output line. EXAMPLES
Example 1: An example of sotruss. A simple example shows the tracing of a simple ls command: % sotruss ls | more ls -> libc.so.1:*atexit(0xef7d7d1c, 0x23c00, 0x0) ls -> libc.so.1:*atexit(0x1392c, 0xef7d7d1c, 0xef621bb0) ls -> libc.so.1:*setlocale(0x6, 0x1396c, 0xef621ba8) ls -> libc.so.1:*textdomain(0x13970, 0x1396c, 0xef621ba8) ls -> libc.so.1:*time(0x0, 0xef61f6fc, 0xef621ba8) ls -> libc.so.1:*isatty(0x1, 0xef61f6fc, 0x0) ls -> libc.so.1:*getopt(0x1, 0xeffff8fc, 0x13980) ls -> libc.so.1:*malloc(0x100, 0x0, 0x0) ls -> libc.so.1:*malloc(0x9000, 0x0, 0x0) ls -> libc.so.1:*lstat64(0x23ee8, 0xeffff7a0, 0x0) ... ls -> libc.so.1:*printf(0x13a64, 0x26208, 0x23ef0) ls -> libc.so.1:*printf(0x13a64, 0x26448, 0x23ef0) ls -> libc.so.1:*exit(0x0, 0x24220, 0x2421c) ATTRIBUTES
