It was repeating the message (as dictated to me): WD0s2 WD0 WD unwedge failed status 80 error 80 WD start: Timeout writing to give common ???? FSBN 261440 of 261440-261455 (WD0s2 BN 476672; CN 236 TN 14 SN 14) The operater tried to reboot and got: Failure: cannont read blk 19904 and a lot of other 'Failed' messages and then it came up in single user mode. So the question is: What can be done? Is there a FreeBSD program to scan and fix the bad blocks? Can we run tar and/or transfer files to the floppy disk in single user mode? Can we ftp over the local ethernet? Thanks Charlie Reese ------------------------------------------------------------- Charles E.
