Hi
I just formatted a 250GB disk. I got the disk form our network
administrator, because it failed in a RAID system, but he was not sure
weather the disk was damaged or not.
Here is the result of the format comand:
C:\>format I:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Enter current volume label for drive I: Data
WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK
DRIVE I: WILL BE LOST!
Proceed with Format (Y/N)? y
Verifying 239366M
Volume label (ENTER for none)? Data
Creating file system structures.
Format complete.
245111704 KB total disk space.
245035780 KB are available.
First. It took arround 1½ -2 hours to format the drive from the XP shell. Is
this normal?
Second: When I look at the properties of the driver from My Computer, It
says Used Space: 74,4MB. Is this normal? After doing a Quick Format it now
says 71,1MB used!
I think that this is suspicious. But the result of the format doesn't say
anything about bad sectors.
Should I trust this dirve or not?
