Thanks vivek for the response. alas! i just got fedup with the whole thing, decided to reformat the whole hardisk to erase my data, and am returning the hardisk under warranty. any hardisk that makes mechanical clicking grunting sounds i'd not like to keep. will try again with the fresh replacement. thanks vivek and vikas for your help :-) niyam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
