Mike,
THANKS! for letting me use that drive! Turns out the SATA ports on my
motherboard are just fine. The drive Dale had marked bad (Samsung SATA)
*IS* dead.... AND...
Mike, it looks like I'm bringing you back a working Maxtor 160g SATA
drive!
In my testing the motherboard was able to perform a low-level format
to the drive. I then tried dban, it worked. Then tried DSL and fdisk'd
the drive, mkfs.ext3 and fsck.ext3 the drive, it worked!
Downloaded the PowerMax software from Maxtor. It passed the testing!
I got the drive doing a mkfs.ext3 -c -c -v /dev/sda1 right now
(really long test) and so far no errors were reported...
Anything else you want tried?
Goose
