This morning my IDE hard disk started coming up with error messages as follows: hard error reading fsbn 1507720 of 1507712-1507727 (wd0s2 bn 172912; cn 427 tn 3 sn 59) wd0: status 59<rdy,seekdone,drq,err> error 40<uncorr> which appears to mean that I have a bad block on my hard disk. How do I go about fixing this? I've tried using bad144 from a fixit floppy, but it dies, complaining about 'too many sectors' on my hard disk. Thanks for any info, Peter -- Peter van Heusden, UWC: Tel: 959 3466 Email: pvh@junior.uwc.ac.za
