It's years ago that i've been using my last ESDI drive that required bad144, but i remember... I think you need to bad144 /dev/rwd0s2 0 to initialize it. Btw., *never* use the block device for this kind of operation, always use the raw device. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
