- Hi, I'm trying to boot bsd on a gateway with a 150 M ESDI hard drive
- and I get the bad sector error. How do I fix the bad sector table?
- I tried bad144 with many different forms of the incantation but it
- keeps telling me it can't write to the bad sector table. Do I need
- to make this its own partition?
-
- Sorry if this has been asked before. I firsted installed it on a notebook
- and didn't have this problem. Please mail or post an answer.
-
- Thanks in advance
- Rex Warren
