I didn't realize that was the problem. I should have know that my
drive is hda- it's the only one in there! But it appears to not be
supported:

Formatting page, please wait...

I remember a postnot long ago (a month, maybe) where someone posted
the output of a disk check and you told him that there was reason to
worry. You then wrote back and mentioned that you checked the man for
that particular program and found that there was in fact no real
reason to worry. I can't find that post! I don't think that the
program was smart, because I would have remembered that name...
