(please include my address in responses, I'm not on -scsi) I had a disk go bad on me while installing a new one - unfortunately it had a few things on it that are worth trying to salvage the disk for (items that backups didn't save). At this point all I'm getting when I try to talk to it is "Medium format error - device not configured" errors to the console, although the SCSI card can identify it properly, even get the manufacturer & model #. All tools, from disklabel to fdisk, fail to do anything, causing the above error message. Am I outta luck? Is it beyond the OS at this point? Are there any shops in the Bay Area that will re-seat the platters into a new drive housing for a reasonable fee? This was a Seagate 15230N, by the way. Thanks!
