The last output was Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): 113968064/ 245117375 the numbers are in block where a block is 1024. Now I would like to write over the bad block with zeros but I want to write as little as I could possibly do so I need to convert the sector numbers to something I can use with dd. But what sector is wrong here ? LBAsect=227940458 or sector=227940352 and how do I turn this into a byte offset "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdg bs=512 count=1 seek=?????? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
