Yeah it says 160 bad blocks :-( And it's about 6 months past the end of the 3 year warranty :-( It still amazes me how well the warranty timing circuity works... ;-) Thanks all that answered. I just spent my $100 on a 10,000rpm 18G drive. On Mon, 13 Jan 2003, Bill Mills-Curran wrote:

One of my out of warranty drives died. (bad sectors)

Would "e2fsck -c <partition>" help to save your current drive?

I haven’t looked for a couple of weeks now but Ubid http://www.ubid.com had 36GB 10K ultra 160 drives for just over $100 and the 18GB for just under $100 I believe. They are an auction site and recently not as good as they once where but from time to time there are some good buys there. ~ Michael LaPointe ~ HorizonNet Communications ~ http://www.allLongdistance.com
