Waterloo, Ontario. Lines: 26 I saw this disk error on my console this morning. Now I'm worried. Disk I/O Error: Fun: 30 Cy: 220 Hd 4 Sec 12 Status: 51 Estat: 80 Drstat: A4 Since the error is not time stamped, I have no idea when it happened. Sometime over the weekend is all I know. I am running a two drive Microport V/AT system. Drive 0 is a 60Meg priam ID62/V185 and drive 1 is an 80 Meg Seagate ST4096. Which drive had the I/O error? What do I do to fix the file that is now corrupt? How do I find the file that is corrupt? I assume that I should add this location into the bad sector map, but can I do this now without re-building the system? This is the first time I've seen anything like this before. This machine has been up 24 hours a day since May 16. It would have been up longer except I installed the cartridge tape drivers on the 16th. larry -- Larry Williamson Focus Automation Systems UUCP: watmath!focsys!larry 608 Weber St. N, Waterloo, Ontario N2V 1K4 +1 519 746 4918
