[TerraNova 66 <terranova66@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I can't use a second hard drive in the laptop.  I do, however, have two in 
the home desktop - if one goes, then I still have the other.  So far, only 
the WinXP drive has had to be replaced :)

I've been looking at smartctl.  I have a feeling it might work best in 
runlevel 3.  I did try smartctl -a /dev/sda6 and got back a "no errors" 
report.  I also tried smartctl --test=short /dev/sda6 but I didn't see any 
report afterwards.  Looks like I have some more reading to do.  Oh, well.


At this point I'm definitely leaning towards a new drive and storing the 
current one.  Perhaps to coincide with v11.0.

Thanks again
