"What do I do when I have bad blocks on my hard drive?" http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#AWRE But in this case, it doesn't look like bad blocks to me. Much more like electronics problems. [Have you opened the case lately? Try replacing the ATA cable.] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
