3. Stop the verification.
You should add the block to the Bad Block List. After the verify is finished click on
Save Changes to Drive and then Exit. You will then reboot the system.
Ifthe system reported a single nonrecoverable error, you should follow the procedure
explained below. If the system reports more than one nonrecoverable error you
should format the affected partition using Initialize from the Workbench menu, and
restore your files from your backup disks.
The lost block will be one of three types:
© adirectory block
e a file data block
© an unused block
To determine if the block was a directory block:
1. Open the CLI/Shell,
2. Type: Dir partitionname: ail
3. If a requester appears stating that there is a read/write error, or if any file names
appear corrupted, the damaged block was a directory block.
If the damaged block was a directory block you must format the hard disk and
restore your files from your backup,
If the damaged block was not a directory block but was in a file, you can restore
that file from your backup by copying that file to the hard disk. If you cannot determine
which file the damaged block was in, you may wish to continue to use your system
normally. If you later find a file that does not function normally, restore that file from
your backup.
WARNING: To protect your hard disk, always park the drive heads before tuming
your system off. To park the drive heads, locate the Park icon on the A2091
Installation Software disk, and double click on it.
