On my notebook, after a "from scratch" reinstall that has worked 
perfectly for days ... the 

hard drive suddenly seems dead.



Upon rebooting, it drops into fsck and locks up as follows (same result 
when I run fsck 

from the repair floppy):



Warning: / was not properly dismounted.



wd0: interrupt timeout:

wd0: status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 0

wd0: interrupt timeout

wd0: status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 1<no_dam>



the hard drive then proceeds for a very long time to churn and churn and 
drumroll.  I've let 

it go on for 20 minutes before I interrupt it.  Well, now I'm going to 
let it run for a couple of 

hours and see if there's any progress.  Naturally, I just finished some 
significant work 

that's locked up on the machine. 



If you have any recommendations, please let me know.  



Please respond to larry_marso@painewebber.com.  I can't receive the 
mailing lists at

this address.  Thank you.
