Means it is time for you to pull out the hard disk and whack your
hardware supplier with it. That message is equivalent to Windows giving
you a blue screen saying unable to write to C: Drive you maybe lose some
data.
Ofcourse to convince Seagate about that you would have to go to their
website download Seatoold (which incidently is a windows binnary) run it
to create a bootable disk (which incidentally boots into DOS) and then
run the tool on your hard disk. The tests are supposedly non destructive
but who knows. By the time I run it the hard disk has outlived its life
anyway ;).
Umm ok I assume it is a Seagate hard disk. I do know Samsung has
simillar tools and so do Quantum and anyone else who manufactures hard disk.
