No, fsck cannot fix hardware problems. The drive is dead or near-dead, you need to replace it. It may very well be under warranty, however, so you should be able to get a replacement from Western Digital. Go to their web site and type in the serial number, and you can see the warranty status. Many hard drive warranties are 3 years. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
