I have a GVP '040 @33, 16 megs fastram on board, Quantum 100 MB HD internal daisy-chained to Maxtor (7213) 202 MB, connected to int. SCSI drive on '040 board. System has been running well for a long time. Started to get disk block error messages for the Maxtor partitions. I tried DiskSalve II to no avail (kept getting lock up) then went to Expert Prep. Tried to remap bad disk blocks but lock-ups continued. Finally, in exasperation, did low level format of Maxtor DH1 partition-had DH1 and DH2). Now, I can't access Maxtor. In ExpertPrep, I get name, size and number of blocks on page one, ghosted high and low cylinder, and everything else is ghosted.
