Hi All, Suddenly, last Saturday, I could no longer access the main partition of my year old external Maxtor 5000XT, a 250 GB drive because of some read errors on some sectors (see at the end of the message). I called the Maxtor support and the only suggestion beside saying that Linux is not supported for this drive was to ask me to repartition and reformat the drive. Their opinion is that the drive is fine but there are some logical errors.
I am glad I had a second drive with a copy of the first one content. So is what they suggest the only alternative to attempt to make some use of that drive? Are there any tool that could help correct this issue without resorting to such extreme before doing a bad block search? Thank you for time and suggestions, Christophe -- "A day without laughter is a day wasted." - Charles Chaplin Nov 25 09:52:26 praha vmunix: ieee1394: The root node is not cycle master capable; selecting a new root node and resetting...
