Unflag Bad Sectors?
Message #212179

don't know what to say. I have a maxtor 1240S and it works very well. likewise I am using a 1542cf without trouble. You have sync, parity and all set for the drive? one thing is possible, if you have a mixed bus, there can be conflcits of I/O time…

Message #88767
