block read error on hard drive.
« on: March 10, 2009, 10:59:52 PM »
i've been getting block read errors on my internal 1 gb scsi hd. i low level formatted the drive using hdtools in the ssytem tool drawer and then did a verify. the verify said the drive had no bad blocks. when i reloaded software on the drive and ran it a message would come up yet again saying that such and such a block could not be read. i am using os 2.04 and the ibm hd is partitioned into 2 partitions of 500 mb each. every time i go to add a hd to my system it is automatically partitioned in two. don't understand this but not a big problem.

any help appreciated.

thanx.

ran quarterback tools to no affect. it didn't find bad blocks when scanning drive either.
