However, the only thing that is stopping me at this point is: disklabel -r /dev/wd0a (a 200 MB IDE drive) is failing because it claims: wd0: cannot find label. bad sector table I/O error. What do I have to do to fix this? I tried using 'install' to format the disk, but this didn't eradicate the bad sector table I/O error problem. Would _greatly_ appreciate any help or pointers or tip! Thanks in advance. --Dan Foster Internet: dsf5454@ritvax.isc.rit.edu
