hard disk failure

d'arco — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 11:05:03 GMT

dear all,

I have an old HP workstation under Unix 9.07 !!

At boot I had the following message :
"/dev/rroot : cannot read : BLK 680232
/dev/rroot : Unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually"

When I run manually fsck I have in continous the message : "cannot read block 680232"

I can boot as single user.

Can I repair the hard disk or must I install a new one ?

thanks for your answer

Shalom,

I believe the disk is dead and needs to be replaced. Its probably not your boot disk, or single user boot would fail as well.

well I would say your disk requires replacing, BUT if the system is THAT old, you may have a major problem getting a disk size that is supported by that OS.
