I don't think that's going to work for me: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=32k dd: writing `/dev/hda': No space left on device 4884091+0 records in 4884090+0 records out # dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=32k dd: reading `/dev/hda': Input/output error 3229627+1 records in 3229627+1 records out D'oh! Time to find that RMA form! Thanks for the help, Matt -- Matt Garman email at: http://raw-sewage.net/index.php?file=email -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
