Hi. The hard disk of my Pavilion zv5000 exploded last week. The linux root
partition became unmountable due to lots of bad blocks in my reiser
filesystem.
Today finally, thanks to dd_rescue and reiserfsck i was able to recover most
of the info to a brand new external drive (well, it's an usb box with a 2.5"
HD inside).
A couple of details:
* The HP hard disk doesn't seem to be standard (did anyone notice this?). The
2.5" toshiba HD i bought doesn't fit perfectly in my laptop due to the
connector, and my damaged Seagate (FUCK THEM!) HD doesn't fit in the LG USB
box... So it seems that if warranty doesn't cover me, i only can purchase a
new HD from HP (ñlfaddsfñhñ#&%fhadsifas!!!))
* There seems to be LOTS of bad blocks. Did anyone experience this before?
Luckily, my shop offers me a 3-year warranty... i'll try to explain them
what's a bad block with linux (don't know if they have even heard about it)
and let's see what happens.
Regards,
Rafael Rodríguez
Same thing happened to my harddrive (while it was under warranty). I
just explained to them the hard was failing and got it repaired. Common
problem, and not Linux related. Though their tech support will ask you
to install windows.
