Trying to check to see if a disc is dead or not.

November 8th, 2007, 0:14

Hello,

I recently rebooted and then GRUB failed to load, upon further repair of this via Live Discs, I noticed they were having issues loading the Sata Drive. Fdisk still showed the drive, and same with bios. i then found a "ultimate boot cd", which had this util. I then proceeded to do a scan, finding 1 Red Square, 1 x, 2 A's and O's. So, I'm not sure if the disc is dead or not still.
I either want to get the data from the drive to RMA it, or get it back live so I can start using it again.

BTW, I use a LVM between the Diamond Max 10 - 300 GB (The One with Issues), and a Diamond Max 10 - 250 GB.
