Looking for a good Linux shop in Madison, Wisconsin

[John J. Boyer]

Hi John,

Your guesses are correct. It would be nice if the new drive could have 
an image of the old one, so it would work immediately. i don't know if 
the errors are due to defects in the disk platters or to problems with 
the controller. The machine is behaving normally now, but every few days 
it starts giving messages about sector errors.
