I never got mine to go past the first failure until I used dd to erase |
| 7 |
the drive. As mentioned before, I may could have done that without |
| 8 |
moving my data but that was to complicated and risky for me at the |
| 9 |
time. From my understanding tho, until that data is moved off the bad |
| 10 |
spot so that the drive knows it can do what it needs to, that spot is |
| 11 |
still going to show up. I don't know of a way to make it test beyond |
| 12 |
the bad spot either. |

If you have a drive that you can move that data over to so that you can |
| 15 |
play with the bad drive, that's what I would do. Once you get it moved, |
| 16 |
then dd the whole drive, run the test and then see what results you |
| 17 |
get. I looked at a howto that someone posted or I found and doing it |
| 18 |
with the data on there just made me nervous. |
