I've got a 1.6gb hard disk just sitting here. When I do a e2fsck on it after a hard reboot I get 3 or 4 short reads. (Sorry I don't have the exact error before me.) Is there anyway I can reformat this disk and get rid of this problem? There's no data on it I want and if I can reformat and get at least part of it to work it would be a great help.
