fdisk reports this drive as 730 MB, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1416 cylinders (and spits a warning about having more than 1024 cylinders). DOS/Windows always reported the drive as 695 MB, though. Coincidentally, all of the bad sectors are near the end of the disk, so I'm thinking that the disk is being reported to the kernel as larger than it actually is, which explains why all these operations are failing.
Does Linux just report the drive size differently (mebibyte vs. megabyte?) or has this hard drive sought its last sector?
