I recently had a similar problem with an IDE drive from Seagate. It had one bad sector on it. I was running Solaris on the machine in question, so I did not want a DOS or Windows based program. I found that they had a disk tools bootable CD rom image on their web site. Among other things it will find bad sectors and replace them with alternates, at a firmware level. I believe the other manufatures also have similar programs. BTW, it was free. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
