Hi All...
I'm using a Quantum Empire 2100S hard drive with a Adaptec 1542CF
host adapter. Problem is: The HD have a lot of bad sectors (phisical
accident). I try to remap these, but it was done sucessfull for the
firsts sectors only. After remap some sectors (using the AHA1542's
firmware: The Scsi Select utilitie), the utilitie returns me a 04 error
code (hardware error).
Formatting the whole disk under DOS and using the Norton
Calibrate, I get 4Mb of bad DOS' CLUSTERS. Actually, I can't get another
HD. Questions is:
- Is the G-List Full?
- I Uses FreeBSD with this machine, and the bad144 (FreeBSD's module to
mark badsectors) is a big trash. How can I list the badsectors to mark
them (generate a list to use with Unix's FSCK utilitie, for example)?
It's possible to do that under DOS (or OS/2).
Note: Actualy, I uses the disks with DOS, OS/2 and FreeBSD. Under DOS and
OS/2, I mark the badblock with no problems, but under Unix-like systems
(Slakware/RedHat Linux, SCO Unix and FreeBSD), I can't do that (the
support of badblocks is realy BAD on these systems)
Partition Map:
Boot Disk (IDE - It's OK): Sec. Disck (SCSI - The problem is here):
+-----------------------------+ +-------------------------------------+
| OS/2 Boot Manager (1Mb) | | FreeBSD boot partition (464Mb) |
+-----------------------------+ +-------------------------------------+
| DOS boot Partition (15Mb) | | FAT Extended Logical Unit (560Mb) |
+-----------------------------+ +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -+
| OS/2 boot Partition (154Mb) | | HPFS Extended Logical Unit (1.1Gb) |
+-----------------------------+ +-------------------------------------+
Thanks, and... I'm studing english :-)
