	Our power went off a few weeks ago and since then our color station
won't boot properly.  I have to tweak it a little bit every time the computer
goes through a hard reboot, but can get it running.  I have the CD-ROM drive
and have loaded 3.0 but that didn't fix that problem.  Also, the error log
lists a couple hundred files with messages such as, "couldn't copy", "couldn't
make folder", and {my favorite:->) "couldn't change settings on".  It looks
like hard disk damage to physical blocks, and in fact fsck says there are 
some unresolved problems.  Has anyone out there done a low-level format
or surface analysis?  What is the trick to loading 3.0 if you are working with
an empty hard drive?  Obviously you must boot from the CD-ROM.  Any help on
this would be appreciated.
