Hard drive is
WD 160 GB , ata
model: WD 1600 JB - 00GVA0
I used SCAN on MHDD and
there are a lot of x-blocks (UNCF) on it.
Near 1/4 of blocks are x-es
I scanned a little part - just near one screen, on different part of disk
( at beginning , middle and near the end)
and they are distributed uniformly (visually).
Does it means that one head is bad......?????
