any utility to check a hard drive i think my hd is dying
You might take a look at the 'ide-smart' program (idesmart package), that is if your BIOS and harddrive are SMART capable: 'ide-smart /dev/hda' gives you the status of different tests of hda (passed or failed). The man pages will give you some more options... Good luck
