Sure, you can often see a disk that is misconfigured. It is almost certain, however, that when you write to it you will simply cause corruption on it. Of course, so far this is all speculation, as you have not actually said what the disks, controller interfaces, and jumpering and so forth are at. I was merely speculating, based on what you have said. No amount of software magic will "cure" a hardware problem.. -- With our best regards, Maurice W.
