[comp.sys.sun] Reviving dead Fujitsu drive

kiron@concour.cs.concordia.ca (The Doctor) (06/05/91)

Hi there... at work, on one of our 4/260's, the root disk died... fine... I rebooted off
the boot tape into munix, and attempted to reformat the drive...however, the defect list was
on the dead block (block 0)... as a result, I cannot repair the block, nor can I format 
the disk (it chokes on block 0)... suggestions?  Is it as one friend put it "a good paperweight", or can it be recovered?

Thanks

Kiron
