Thank you very much, very detailed help, only one question remaining:
as i am able to format "dead" disk under the running os -> is there a
way try to sync manually ? or how can i check the dead disk, if it is
really dead ?
As i don't want to buy new disks as long as i am not quite sure if it is
defekt ?
