I have the ATA HD bios set for auto on the drive, How does /var/adm/message
log file disk0 report that 240058266 240058271 blocks has a error even when
you devide by 2 equals 120029133 blocks higher then what is reported for slice
2 or 7 on fdisk showing up as a 117370890 block value vs the max value that
Maxtor drive has 14946*16065 = 240107490
Also during the inital install of Solaris snv_b59 or newer I never see a error
being reported even when I open a console and type dmesg or look at
/var/adm/messages during the DVD install?
.
cat /var/adm/messages when you type format on the shell command line:

Yet when I reloaded Windows XP 2002 version no sp2 later added sp2 with MS
updates and then reloaded OpenSolaris DVD snv_59 again, did not see any errors
or when I reran the Maxtor low level format and did not see the errors, only
after several reboots and running failsafe and run fsck do these errors show up.
