Hi,
I got a small used disk given to me that I am trying to put into a
small system I have. When I tried to run mke2fs on any of the partitions I
had created I get
--------
Checking fro bad blocks (read-only test): Bad block 0 out of range;ignored.
done
Block 1 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad.
Blocks 1 through 3 must be good in order to build a filesystem.
Aborting....
--------
Similarly, mkswap gives:
-------
4120 bad pages
mkswap: fatal: first page unreadable
-------
I suspect the drive is toast, but thought I would check first. Does
anyone know if a low level format or something else can save this, or is it
just garbage ?
Thanks,
Gerald Crimp
