RIP my A drive
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: doogie

Last night finally decided to do a drive pull due to a few random reboots and complete blackouts requiring power removal, and mentions in the logs of "BadSector"

Took a backup OK, went through powermax tests on the 120gb drive and factory re-certify failed with an error. :(

So have currently got my Tivo back down to 40gb waiting for Maxtor to send out the advanced replacement for the drive.

Oh well..... at least it gives me an incentive to do a full reset then take a backup in the virgin state, which is a bit friendlier for people in need :)
