Seacrate disk can really be formatted. (Thanks to Joerg Wunsch, if you ask me). I suggested to Brian off the list that he watch and not worry (yet). He didn't have auto reallocation on, so he was destined to eventually have a similar problem. Of course backing up is a good idea, and if he has any more errors show up I'd look at returning the disk. To check for problems he can disable the reallocation again, and "scrub" the raw drive over night by writing and reading patterns to and from the raw drive, logging any errors. If errors are showing up this will give him the data he needs to insist Seagate take it back. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
