I never really got a chance to track down exactly why, but I've used seagate drives with adaptec raid cards in the past, and I found that most (if not all) the drives that were declared "bad" by the raid card, in fact only had a couple of sectors that were bad. Using the verify utility in the adaptec raid card to re-map the one or two bad sectors was all that was needed to re-use the drive. -Glenn >Thanks > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Tired of spam?
