hard disk meltdown
I had an issue with a second hard disk in my machine. I have a sparc station running solaris 7. It was working fine but now it wont mount on boot up and when you try to mount it manually it gives an I/O error. I tried a different disk as a control which was fine. What I want to know is if my corrupt disk is salvagable. When I try to format it (or run a probe-scsi command from the prom monitor prompt) it recognises that a disk exists but none of its detail and so asks me for input regarding the number of cylinders, heads ...etc.Even then it wont format it and gives the following error to the console window. Is there any hope for this disk or is there any way to analyse what caused the problem in the first place.
