badblocks shows nothing, and i have another of these 40 gig drives on a different machine that does the exact some thing. kaos:/# fsck /backup Parallelizing fsck version 1.18 (11-Nov-1999) e2fsck 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/hdc1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information Padding at end of block bitmap is not set.

Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes and it goes on with the same error! someone mentioned about these drives using ATA66? would that have any effect here?
