Hi All.
Yesterday I was installing Centos 5.5 to my web server, and it looks like the main hard drive has gone AWOL.
Fedora 12 put the file system into r/o mode.
The drive is an Hitachi, still under warranty.
There are bad sectors on it, and running the Hitachi DFT tool confirms this. Also I cannot repair the bad sectors.
Would this be caused by a faulty I/O chip, or is it safe to say it's definately the HDD at fault?
Kind Regards,

hdd at fault
OK - thanks for confirming that Bill.
I'll remove it and take it back for replacement.
