Could've been the controller, but from what I recall I swapped the drive (later) and all was good. I really don't recall though - I could've put the "bad" drive in a good laptop and fixed it that way - really don't recall details. Wish I could fix some other problems by throwing them in a freezer! -----Original Message----- From: Polytropon [mailto:freebsd@edvax.de]=20 Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 5:54 PM To: Gary Gatten Cc: George Davidovich; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: hard disk failure - now what?
