- Scenario: Sun 3 is dead with disk problems. Reboot via network and
- run format on bad disk. Format fails due to "Fatal non-media error
- (cylinder addr error)". I reseat, repower, reformat with same problems.
-
- Is this the 451 card or the disk? The second disk attached to the card displays
- the same problem. Most errors are at the end of the disk 841/19/
-
- If it is the card what can I expect to pay for a replacement? Sources?
-
- Thanks...Bill
