Hi Guys   I'm currently running a Linux based "smooth wall" (firewall) computer and I'm wanting to install an old 30gb drive just so I can use it as a last resort backup storage area.   The first thing is that the drive has some bad sectors that are not all detected. It picks up a few but once you starting writing to it runs into problems. so to get around these bad sectors I want to partition in the "good" areas. I have identified the "good" and "Bad" sections of the drive using a simple read speed test.   From the web forums on smoothwall I require the partitions to be in ext3 format. Am I able to simply format the drive as 4 partitions I guess 1 in the primary and the other 3 in the logical? (I'm using partition magic on the win pc) Am i going about this correctly?   Once I have the drive installed how do I mount the drives into the file system?   cheers Lance Frater
