Hi, I have an hard drive that connects to my laptop through the USB 2.0 interface.it was bought at 2006. some months before, it started to report error on read. I reformatted it use the
mkfs.ext3 -c /dev/sda1 But it didn't detected any badblock. then I copied some files to it, then read out, it shown the error: usb 5-4.3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=0x07 driverbyte=0x00 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 214814735 usb 5-4.3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 I think that's because there are some badblocks on the disk, so I ran fsck.ext3 -c /dev/sda1 but this time it still didn't find out any badblock. any idea about it? thanks. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
