Hi,

I was getting some media errors on my internal hard drive the other day. I was
told that a low level format would correct those errors. Well, I used disk to
perform the format and the initialization. Is there a program around that could
verify the stability of the disk? I guess I'm thinking of something like
Spinrite or Norton Disk Doctor on the PC. I know that in the interactive mode,
disk has a command called verify but I'm not sure how it works. Any help would
be appreciated. Thanks. Please email me at pan@athena.mit.edu and I'll post a
summary.
