I believe Seagate has an utility you can use to check a drive. Also if the drive was bought in the last couple of years and your motherboard supports SMART monitoring I believe there is a port that can interface to the SMART interface in your hardware. >From my experience if your system supports SMART and you have it enabled upon bootup you would receive a notice if your HD is having serious problems. To check if your system has SMART monitoring check your BIOS. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
