Hi, It's not neccessarily a bad hard-drive. If you have a SiS chipset, you should try to *disable* the SiS support in the kernel ( kernel recompile ). That fixed a lot of IDE problems ( hard-disk errors, unreadable CD-ROM etc ) in SuSE 6.4 on my moms machine. -tosi -----Original Message----- From: Alvaro A.

have a problem. One way to check (and try to resolve) this is to do a full backup of your system and reformat the drive with the check for bad blocks option enabled.
Before going that way, you can do e2fsck -c #checks for badlocks or badblocks read up on the man page, but I believe that you need to umount the suspicious partition before run the above utilities.
