I tried sending this "Cry for help" in the Advocacy group, but, apparently that was the wrong area. I'll try again.
I have a 130mb hard drive with two known media errors on the disk. I can bypass these errors in dos/windows by using pctools.
When using OS/2 and HPFS, these errors manifest themselves within applications that I've installed on the disk. I was under the impression that if you format the drive while installing OS/2, the file system automatically detects these media errors and works around them. This does not seem to be happening.
If anyone has any thoughts concerning this problem, I would be most appreciative in hearing them.
Regards,
JR Rich
