I Partition Magic, in the Partition Info section, in "Disc Geometry Information", it shows two errors. Other tests show no bad sectors or any other bad news.... Plus, everything seems to be running fine...

Should I worry, or do all drives a year old show a harmless error or two?

It's and IBM Deskstar 18G, 2mg Buffer, 7200 rpm, Dma 66.

Thx in Advance....

Well that would kinda depend on WHAT errors it was giving you! Have you looked up the errors on Powerquests website to see what they say about it?

Ah..the directions.... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/redface.gif

They are "large drive Placeholders"...innocent sounding enough for me to go on about my life...

Thank You again...
