Hard Drive Problems

[Kurt Appling]

RE; before you throw it away,reformat and write zero to the drive,I too 
have had utilitys tell my HD was only to find that it was only 
corrupted.also In my opinion,its not a bad Idea to have a second hard 
back-up anyway if you can afford it,it can really help with trouble 
shooting problems

Hi Michael,
Wish I knew as much about OS X as I do Classic stuff (see my NUMEROUS 
posts
on the install OS X issue ;-) -
run Norton Utilities or TechTool Pro, pref. Norton because of its 
tell-tale
reaction to the following:
if (as I suspect) Norton Utils fails midway through a Disk Doctor 
scan, then
the hard drive has bad blocks (irrepairable, in my experience) and 
will need
replacing.
Best regards,
Dana
