Bad144 might be able to work for a week or two, but its not a very good solution. If you at all care about what is on the disk, this is the point where you should either claim its warranty if it has one, or else buy a new disk. Disks which have run out of spare sectors are already bad, and many more bad sectors will generally develop quickly. If you don't have the cash for a high-end scsi drive, you can always check out: http://necxdirect.necx.com:8002/cgi-bin/auth/:guest/simple_q?cifilelnk=0000531 for a $395 Quantum Fireball SCSI 6.4GB drive. Warning: necx's web site likes to crash FreeBSD version of netscape 4. Use windows if necessary :( John
