Hi, I'm a newbie to linux, and have a question. I know this is a bit off topic in this group, as it is a linux in general question, but anyway: How do I get linux to mark bad sectors on my hard drive, as I have a few, and they are stopping me doing lots of things like running Xwindows etc. fsck see's them, but asks me whether I want to ignore them. If I say no it fails on some of them, saying can't read next inode while doing inode scan
Even when I don't ignore them and it works, it doesn't do any good, and I want to be able to run (and make) programs.... Thanks *very* much in advance. Peter Allen
