I have an AT compatible with a 30-Meg hard disk. Recently it has lost a file, by that I mean that when I try to access that one file it gives me an error message: Data error reading drive C Abort, Retry, Ignore? Yes I have Retried many times with no success. The real question boils down to this: How can I located the bad sector, cylinder, head of the offending spot? Once I have this info I can map the thing out with idisk.com. Is there some non destructive read test on the IBM advanced diagnostics that I can use? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
