Smartmontools is useful, but if you really suspect the disk is on the way out, all the hard drive manufacturers supply bootable CD ISOs with their own testing/RMA tools. The benefit there is that if the disk is dying, the tool will generate the RMA number required for you to get a replacement. -ben -- do i contradict myself? very well then, i contradict myself, (i am large, i contain multitudes.) <walt whitman> _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
