Would that mean I have to blow away my precious ext4 partitions and have them Win7rc NTFS formatted and run a full check-disk with bad block checking enabled? I can do that, but probably over the weekend since I'll have to backup files and what not. In the mean time, can I run a linux command (please tell me what it is or I will search for something to run online) or tool while NCQ is disabled (via libata.force=noncq) that can do a disk scan with bad block checking? If that linux command/tool does not show errors, will that be sufficient to demonstrate that my disk does not have bad blocks without the need to run Win7rc? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
