I suspect that you have bad sectors on your hard disk drive (and many of them). A good tool to use is Segate's Seatools (http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/index.html). Just burn the Seatools Desktop edition to CDROM and boot from it. - Russell _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
