WD is bad, they're a bad bad company. Anyone who has a WD drive in their
server should take it out and THROW IT AWAY. I don't trust wdc as far as I
can decompile it. On any file system.

Huh? Western Digitals drive test utility will run on a drive regardless of
what data is contained. It's harmless, it will not mess with the partion.

Depending on the mfgr of the drive, you should be able to boot off a
floppy and run a utility to 'check' the drive for errors.
WD has this and requires some users to run the util and report an error
code before RMA... check with your drive mfgr for their policy.

You can try running fsck and badblocks to attempt to fix the errors. But
I've never had luck with either of those tools on a drive that was dieing.
If the errors remain, there's a 99% probability the drive is bad.

Subject: Re: Harddrive Errors
Hello,
I once tried a newer hard drive on an old motherboard. I think the hard
drive was spinning down (power saving) and the motherboard treated it as an
error.
It may just be a bad drive. If that is the case, it will die in the next
couple of days anyway.
