I am not sure I follow. to me that just proves that the HDD doesn't have an irrecoverable error on a particular sector. by irrecoverable I mean an error that would stop the HDD working altogether until power cycle rather than report a sector read/write error. the question what screws up the HDD remains. the HDD can get screwed up by itself due to a bug in firmware, but why doesn't it happen with windoze or GNU/Linux? pure luck? /max
