Hello, recently I detected problems with 2GB harddisk in an old 486 machine. The disk worked for two years very well. I tried several checks under DOS including a check routine from Quantum (it's a Quantum Bigfoot disk) and Calibrat (from Norton Utilities). No DOS check program detected any error.
Repartinioning with Linux fdisk and creating e2fs worked well but after writing data to the disk and unmounting leads to more errors than I could count. E2fsck is unable to repair the problems. Any idea what could cause this strange problem? Kind regards Andreas.
