Hi,

just today something very strange happened:

While I was trying to set up my system for RAID 1, I had to reinitialize
one of my HDs.

Unfortunately, however, on all the disks that I'd worked on with disklabel,
the partition maps were unreadable for the Mac (which wasn't much of a
problem), and the one I tried to format only gave me an error about the
magnetic media format being corrupted.

Further investiagtion showed, that it's really an error detected by the
drive, not only HD SC-setup. The drive knows its type, but doesn't know
about bad sectors and a lot of other things.

Is it really possible to physically trash a SCSI-Drive with disklabel???

And has anyone any idea what could be done to revive the disk?

Regards!

	Alex
