Hi, I have the following drive exhibiting the following problems, and was wondering if the drive is bad, like I suspect. Here is the drive: wd2: 1040MB (2130912 sectors), 2114 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S And, here is what happens when I try to mount the drive: wd2c: reverting to PIO mode writing fsbn 0 of 0-15 (wd2 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0)wd2 : status 71<rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,err> error 4<abort> wd2c: hard error writing fsbn 0 of 0-15 (wd2 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0)wd2: status 71 <rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,err> error 4<abort> wd2c: reverting to non-multi sector mode writing fsbn 0 of 0-15 (wd2 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0)wd2: status 71<rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,err> error 4<abort> I manage to get a couple of those, depending on what partition I try and mount. The drive was on a machine about 6 months ago running 2.2, and I am trying to mount the partitions on a 3.0 machine. Also, attempting to use /stand/sysinstall instead of doing disklabel/newfs by hand results in the errors above and sysinstall exiting. The reason I am asking if the drive is going bad is because all partitions on it pass a fsck. Any ideas?
