I sent it back in, Seagate graciously replaced the drive. Now I am getting the same error again. I cannot use bsd on this (brand new) drive. As no soloution is presenting itself, that leaves me with two options. Continue using Windows95 (which did do a similar song and dance, only it did NOT tell me error like FreeBSD did ;) or go SCSI. My mom, a friednly Windows user, is happy to get my brand new 3.2 gig hard drive. I had thought Seagate better than to make drives that would get bad spots this easily, till the point it locks up an OS. I guess SCSI is worth the money. j. "Mach was dich wuenschen."
