Thanks. That's not a good sign. It's not unusual for HD problems to start on one partition. I would back up your drive and also check your cables for tightness. Beech Well i figured it wasn't a good sign. I tried "badsect" and it didnt do me much good. I just hate to toss a 60 gig drive in the trash. But now more blocks are just failing. This system has been running a year without any errors. When i bought the motherboard, i bought the "ABIT KT7A-RAID" for future plans, looks like the future is now. ill buy dual drives and raid it up. Now im only left with the decision of whether to buy yet *more* maxtor drives. It appears at least from my experience that the only hard drives that permanently die on me in what seems a short time is maxtor drives.. My seagate is still kicking like a champ. Any suggestions on what new brand i buy? =] And lastly thanks for your response. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
