Good thought, I have UBCD kicking around but didn't think about using it to test the disks.
Destructive testing will of course destroy your data - backup first.
As it happens these disks are empty (as you may have surmised by the fact I'm trying to build a RAID array on them) but that's a welcome reminder for anyone else who might follow this!
Alternatively, if finances allow, dump the disks and get new ones.
I'm edging towards this. There's a good chance that the disks are still in warranty though, so I'd like to prove whether they're faulty. Mark -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) @ 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG
