Hmm. I recall borrowing a copy of some commercial drive "repair" software - supposedly able to find and recover marginal sectors on a drive. Anyway, the drive I had was a Seagate 125 megger (this was back in 1992 or thereabouts). Anyhow, the software started out and then quit several hours later 2/3 of the way through. I was left with a pretty much damaged drive: part of the disk was good, the rest of it was very prone to errors. Unfortunately, I was just getting introduced to Unix at that time (imagine trying to maintain a partition on a somewhat marginal drive, without the bad sector detection/avoidance -- at least back then, it was absent). :( Glad I tossed that drive and got a Maxtor soon after. :) I installed a (very old) distro of linux on that puppy and since then - no MS anywhere on my drives. > Femme
