- We were required to scrub our hard disk so that we could move the system out
- of a secured area. To do this we wrote 0s, 1s, and then an arbitrary character
- to the entire disk. When we tried to install the OS (3.3) on the disk we got an
- error reading the volume label on tpsc(0,7). We have an IRIS 4D/70G with a 380 MB
- ESDI hard disk drive. We are presently reformatting the hard disk to see if this will
- help the installation. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!!!!!
