Read the smartctl message again, it's not reporting a bad sector, it's reporting a read failure. Bad sectors are detected and mapped out in the background, you have something more serious, something that prevents the drive scanning past this point. If it's less then two years old, send it back. Most drive manufacturers have a form on their web site where you can input the serial number and see the warranty status. If you can return it so so, ASAP. --=20 Neil Bothwick Press every key to continue. --Sig_/S.ckGqIf1K8MfVqqCGdUQW6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlPVS64ACgkQum4al0N1GQPlvgCfbVeegw7QAuKLCT6xnezZotjN yqIAn3l0Gj6Sq9Uitg2Yr9r7CFeNIHLd =N1dL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/S.ckGqIf1K8MfVqqCGdUQW6--
