Message-ID: <1nlk33$is@tricky.wft.stack.urc.tue.nl> Date: 10 Mar 93 20:46:27 GMT Reply-To: jim@wft.stack.urc.tue.nl Organization: Eindhoven university of technology Lines: 16 NNTP-Posting-Host: shark.wft.stack.urc.tue.nl Hi, I am trying to use a IDE-disk with badsectors. The badsect command does not work for me. When I use badsect as described in the manualpage, I get a "Device busy". What could I be doing wrong here?. What I've tried: * Boot from the fixit floppy and mount the disk before using badsect. * Boot from harddisk and then use badsect. The effect of both where the same. Is there someone with simulair experience? Jim.
