#hard drive problems
Hi All!
I have been having trouble with a particular partition on my hard disk
lately (i.e. volume xx has a read/write error), but it seems to be sporadic
and irreproducible. Also, choosing retry from the requester seems to make
it go away 99% of the time (tho' sometimes the requester comes up, and the
drive light stays on and the mouse pointer won't move, forcing a reboot. I
am using the Xetec FastTrak SCSI adaptor with a 40M Quantum drive. I have
used the SCSITool program supplied by Xetec (and it found no defects) and I
have backed that partition up (evidently succesfully) using Quarterback. I
am wondering whether a re-formatting of the drive (or the offending
partition) is likely to get rid of this problem … does anyone know? Is
anyone else out there using the FastTrak?
What (if any) problems have you experienced?
Thanx in advance!!
