Pwedeng tama ka kasi I've already experienced that before. May lumalabas na
lang sa console ko yung katulad ng sa itaas. I tried formatting it under dos
and I saw a message "Trying to recover allocation chains.....". This means
that DOS is trying to recover a defective sector. Yung isa naman, may ibang
case na kahit bago ang harddisk mo, lalabas din ang annoying message na nasa
taas. I guess, this would be answered by Eric's previous POST.
