2275.0. "BADBLOCK ON HD" by VNABRW::PARGFRIEDER () Fri Feb 24 1989 13:58


	HALLO AMIGA-GURUS!!!

FOR A FEW WEEKS I BOUGHT A 40MB HARDDISK (A SEAGATE ST250PR +
A SEAGATE ST11R CONTROLLER).
FIRST I DID A RAWFORMAT WHICH ALSO VERIFIES ALL TRACKS (666 TRACKS
AT ALL).AT THIS TIME EVERY THING WORKS FINE. NO BAD TRACKS FOUND
ON THE DISK.
BUT WHEN I TRY TO FORMAT THE DISK IT STOPS AT TRACK 331 WITHOUT
FINISHING (DID'NT FORMAT THE TRACKS BEHIND 331 AND DID'NT INSTALL
THE DISK).
OK, NEXT I TRY A QUICK FORMAT WITH WB 1.3 (ONLY INSTALL) AND THE
DISK WORKS FINE.
BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS THE HD I ONLY GET A WINDOW
WITH A READ ERROR.WHEN I CHECK THE DISK THE PROGRAMM "CHECKDRIVE"
FOUND A BAD BLOCK AT 331.
NOW MY QUESTION????
IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE AN ENTRY IN THE BADBLOCK-FACTORY TABLE ON
THE DISK,BEFORE I RAWFORMAT THE DISK?
OR HOW COULD I TELL MY AMIGA THAT IT SHOULD NOT USE A BADBLOCK?

ANYWAY,WHERE CAN I GET THE PROGRAMMERS MANUAL OR TECHNICAL MANUAL
FOR MY ST11R SEAGATE-CONTROLLER? ANYBODY HAVE IT? MAYBE SOMEONE
COULD SEND IT TO ME ON THE NET.
