is repartitioning and reformatting the only alternative?
Hi All,
Suddenly, last Saturday, I could no longer access the main partition
of my year old external Maxtor 5000XT, a 250 GB drive because of some
read errors on some sectors (see at the end of the message). I called
the Maxtor support and the only suggestion beside saying that Linux is
not supported for this drive was to ask me to repartition and reformat
the drive. Their opinion is that the drive is fine but there are some
logical errors.
I am glad I had a second drive with a copy of the first one content.
So is what they suggest the only alternative to attempt to make some
use of that drive? Are there any tool that could help correct this
issue without resorting to such extreme before doing a bad block
search?
Thank you for time and suggestions,
Christophe
