HI,

I'm a newbie and I have a similar problem.  I have a jaz 2 gig drive
installed on the system already (it worked previously) but now I can't
mount the drive so I can read it's contents.

In the fstab it shows as:
/dev/sda4 /jaz ext2 noauto 0 0

I type:
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda4 /jaz

and I get:
scsi0: medium error on channel 0, id 4, lun 0, cdb: Read (6) 00 00 41
02 00
Current error sd08:04: sense key medium error
additional sense indicates unrecovered read erro
scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:04, sector 2
EXT@-fs:unable to read superblock
mount: wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock or /dev/sda4, or too
many mounted file systems

Sometimes I've gotten the message that says that block 0 is damaged.

How do I format this jaz disk? I'd like to be able to copy the contents
of the current settings on the hard drive as I'd like to convert the
machine to win95 then reinstall linux?  I don't mind deleting any
existing data.

thanks in advance.
