I haven't booted up my second disk in a long time in my laptop, and now I get this error: wd0: interrupt timeout: wd0: status 50<seekdone> error 0 wd0: interrupt timeout: wd0: status 50<seekdone> error 1<no_dam> I can hear the disk 'cycling', and it never recovers. Unfortunately, it's on my root partition, so 'dd' doesn't even work. Unfortunately, the disk is 'unclean', so I can't even mount it read-write to go find the offended disk block. I suspectk it's trying to read some block on my disk that went bad, but the error recovery is such that once it starts to read it, it can't get past it. Is there something I can do to recover, or is it time to get a new disk (I don't even know if I can buy one for a machine this old)? I haven't noticed anything wrong on the DOS side of the disk, but it just might not have any bad-spots on that part of the disk. Thanks for any help you can provide! Nate
