I went to the console and there was a message about a hard error on the disk drive and not being able to read a block. The version of FreeBSD is -STABLE as of Friday, April 5, 2002. I hit the reset button and booted into single user mode and tried to run an fsck. The same error occurred. There was also an attempt to switch from UDMA mode to PIO mode but the system locks up with this error. I have 3 other identical machines, including identical hard drives, with the same kernel version and they are all running fine. I know this is a hard drive problem but I was wondering if reformatting the drive would help or if I should just go ahead and put a new drive in?
