So I rebuilt the os on a separate disk(c0t1d0). I booted into single user mode from the cd, tried to create a new file system on the old disks root partition (c0t0d0s0). When I do I get an error:
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0 (dad0):

dad0: disk okay
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0: (y/n)? y
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0 (dad0):
Uncorrectable data Error: Block 10
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0 (dad0):

read error on sector 16: I/O error
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0 (dad0):

I still get the error mentioned in my first post when I run the format command.
Any enlightenment would be much appreciated
Thanks

sysdef(1M) System Administration Commands sysdef(1M)
NAME
sysdef - output system definition
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sysdef [-i] [-n namelist]
/usr/sbin/sysdef [-h] [-d] [-i] [-D]
DESCRIPTION
The sysdef utility outputs the current system definition in tabular form. It lists all hardware devices, as well as pseudo devices, system
devices, loadable modules, and the values of selected kernel tunable parameters.
It generates the output by analyzing the named bootable operating system file (namelist) and extracting the configuration information from
it.
The default system namelist is /dev/kmem.
OPTIONS
-i Prints the configuration information from /dev/kmem. This is the default and only needs to be specified if the configura-
tion information from both /dev/kmem and the system file specified with the "-n namelist" option is needed.
-nnamelist Specifies a namelist other than the default (/dev/kmem). The namelist specified must be a valid bootable operating system.
-h Prints the identifier of the current host in hexadecimal. This numeric value is unique across all Sun hosts.
-d The output includes the configuration of system peripherals formatted as a device tree.
-D For each system peripheral in the device tree, display the name of the device driver used to manage the peripheral.
