Any help appreciated! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 21:40:46 -0600 (CST) From: Kyle Mestery To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Is my drive bad? Hi, I have the following drive exhibiting the following problems, and was wondering if the drive is bad, like I suspect. Here is the drive: wd2: 1040MB (2130912 sectors), 2114 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S And, here is what happens when I try to mount the drive: wd2c: reverting to PIO mode writing fsbn 0 of 0-15 (wd2 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0)wd2 : status 71 error 4 wd2c: hard error writing fsbn 0 of 0-15 (wd2 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0)wd2: status 71 error 4 wd2c: reverting to non-multi sector mode writing fsbn 0 of 0-15 (wd2 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0)wd2: status 71 error 4 I manage to get a couple of those, depending on what partition I try and mount. The drive was on a machine about 6 months ago running 2.2, and I am trying to mount the partitions on a 3.0 machine. Also, attempting to use /stand/sysinstall instead of doing disklabel/newfs by hand results in the errors above and sysinstall exiting. The reason I am asking if the drive is going bad is because all partitions on it pass a fsck. Any ideas?
