Brand of the Motherboard: PENTIUM GA-586ATV PCI-ISABUS Chips used to control IDE: SB82371SB or SB82437VX (Intel) (I'm not sure which) The hard disk is a Western Digital Caviar 22100 Params: 4092 cyl, 16 heads, 63 spt, 2111.8 MB capacity Also, I'v actually had the chance to run bad144 and here is the kind of error it gave me: bad144: cyl/trk/sect out of range in existing entry: sn=28766658 cn=28531, tn=116, sn=102 So what do you think that means ? Is my server writing data outside its partitions ? Hi Doug, I actually figured out what was wrong with my server. What happened was that I upgraded the server from a 486 to a Pentium by swapping the hard disk on the old system with the new system. I was under the impression that the 2 hard disks were the same. Si I didn't redetect the hard disk. Anyways things are back to normal. And thanks since you're the one who made me look at the disk geometry in the first place. ___________________________ ________________________/ Technologies Miranda Inc. \ / Jean-Francois Routhier \ TEL:(514)333-1772 | | jfrouthi@miranda.com | FAX:(514)333-9828 | | | Web: http://www.miranda.com | | |___________________________ / | Network Administrator | | Administratrice Reseau | \________________________/
