There is nothing you can do with them in FreeBSD. Check the HD mfg web site for daig program which runs under ms/dos. But in most cases this daig program will just confirm HD has bad sectors and tell you to replace the bad HD with new one. Check mfg product warrantee, if HD is less than 3 years old mfg will swap your bad HD for new one. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Martin Kruse Jensen Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 1:22 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Disk problems Hi I'm having some problems with my FreeBSD 5.3 server, running on an AMD using IDE disks.
