That's why I mirrored the disk and replaced it but I have a very uneasy feeling about the durability of the drive. I'm quite unimpressed with having to do this with an ostensibly new technology ATA drive.
-Alex I've seen this before, quite a while ago where the disks were not properly formatted. I've seen them where they had been formatted with the incorrect bad block information. This sometimes comes from the disk data being copied in a manner that does not preserve the bad block data setup at the factory when the initial low level format was done. Your best bet is to back up any data on there and do a low level format to rebuild the bad block tables. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Feldman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 1:11 PM Subject: Re: Hard drive needs low-level format? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
