Is the disk full of bad or questionable sectors? AFAIK it's not possible with IDE -- that's what some engineers have told me. The last time I tried to do it was back in 1993 or thereabouts, with a Seagate ST-1144A (126 meg drive) which had started to develop problems just after 18 months of use. I borrowed Spinrite (?) my memory is foggy as to the program - but it was under DOS. It worked up to a point - after several hours it had managed to progress through 1/3 of the disk and subsequently crashed. This left the rest of the disk not too terribly usable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
