Dear Sir I have a new 160 GB SATA hard disk .I have installed Mandriva 2007. After re booting the system , hard disk shows bad blocks and doesnot boot. I tried FC 6 as well as Suse 10.2 but same problem.
Hi, Run smartctl and go through the information it responds with, well having bad blocks does not means your HDD is going to die in general. But yep it might be an indication to pre-failure also. Run smartctl and see the stats.
