Thanks Dragonfly, Seen this after I posted my last Question. Harley Dragon Fly < dragonfly%40pacbell.net">dragonflypacbell.net> wrote: The two disks are based on slightly different standards. All commercially produced movies use the DVD-R format. The drive itself is made to use one or both of the standards. Newer devices usually support both.

Using Hard Drive with Bad clusters
United States	2007-06-15 12:45:09

I am looking for some feedback from some of you techs as far as using a hard drive that comes your way with corrupted data for no apparent reason. I have one here now that I am running Chkdsk c: /r on and it has replaced some data in bad clusters, so I assume it has problems and I am going to clone it into a new drive as soon as it finishes chkdsk. But I am not quite ready to toss drives like this, and wonder if any of you re-use them. I have Spinrite 6.0 with whiich I can do a data recovery type scan to mark bad sectors etc, and possibly reuse this drive. But I am not sure it is a good idea, since the drive has bad clusters already. Any comments appreciated. Ardell Faul Computer Monitor Service Inc. Laptop Computer & Monitor Repair 10816 E.

The drive may be quite useful. I've seen several drives with 'bad sectors' that never did show an error code after running all sorts of scans and manufacturer's diagnostics on them. I've wiped them clean and reused many of them. Data corruption can result from a variety of things, not always hardware related.

I would only use such drives as an interim storage solution. I re-used one of my drives in this way and it failed completely after a few months of use. -- Norm Higgs http://forbiddenpc.com http://forbiddenpc.blogspot.com https://linkedin.com/e/fpf/4018099 http://freetrafficbar.com?r=74276 Ardell Faul wrote: > I am looking for some feedback from some of you techs as far as using a > hard drive that comes your way with corrupted data for no apparent > reason.

If they survive a couple of cycles of TTPro read/write testing (7 passes of 0's and 1's = 1 cycle) then I have no problem using them. Just make sure if you are installing XP on them that you do not use the quick format option as I find this does not mark any iffy sectors while the longer option does.

Everyday for about a week my email messages from Yahoo groups have been getting suspended due to email bouncing. Each time it has been restored by requesting reactivation. Is this a computer, ISP or Yahoo fault ? Rick __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (0) Reply (via web post) \| Start a new topic . __,_._,___
