What you should do is go to the manafacturer's site for your harddisk and hunt around (probably under downloads), they almost all have a free utility to check their disks, or even do a low-level format on them. You may need a bootable DOS disk to run them. Is worth trying. I have one for all my hard disks. But be prepared for the worst, save your important data, you may need a new disk. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
