badblocks does not check filesystems ; it checks raw devices or
partitions, possibly containing filesystems. Checking filesystems is the
job of various flavours of fsck.
Sure. Just pick a live CD which includes it.

- Will 'badblocks' be able to check Windows (FAT32, NTFS) file systems
as well ?
- Can it be rum off a Live CD ? (I tried PCLinux OS 2009, but it was
not there)

You may find that some manufacturers change critical chipsets for devices
without changing the model or revision of a product. I am aware of this
happening with wireless cards, and webcams. I have learned that sometimes
the USB ID is more important than the manufacturer and model of the product.

I had trouble with this command (syntax error near "done"), although if
I knew how to copy/paste the string in your message from emacs/gnus to
an xterm without a mouse, I might have done better. In any case there is
a .../uvc/uvcvideo.ko, which I suppose I could just delete. That you
didn't simply tell me to do that is the reason I hesitate to do it now.

You can ignore the "config files require .conf" for now (it's not relevant
to the problem at hand).
Is it possible that you have not removed the old modules from
/lib/modules? Try this as root:
for F in `find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name 'uvcvideo*'`
do mv "$F" "$F".`date +'%Y-%m-%d'`; done
Now re-run your make install:

From your description I am guessing that the MB has one IDE slot,
and the rest are SATA. You are using something like the Promise
PCI cards for some additional IDE drives. Why not use an IDE
drive as the master or slave along with your optical drive
on the single MB IDE? I have found that my old Promise cards

Yes: no improvement. However, I have also since built a live CD with an
XP preinstallation environment [[link]]. This works on my
wife's machine, but not on mine, so I guess it's a hardware fault on the
MB. 5 hours or so of memtest show nothing.

Did you try to remove everything that you don't really need, such as 2
Gb of Ram, the harddisk-interface card, your soundcard, whatever?

I have a Thinkpad X61s, running sidux using stock kernel
2.6.23.12-slh-smp-2. I'm trying to get a Logitech QuickCam Pro for
Notebooks running on it, and it seems that given the kernel, I must
compile a uvcvideo module.
I went to linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcv ideo and downloaded
uvcvideo-bff77ec33116.tar.gz, put it in /usr/src, unarchved it, ran #

I've tried to install a variety of flavours of linux on my new PC,
including Ubuntu 9.04, 8.10, 8.04, Suse 11.0, Knoppix, without success.
With Knoppix, I get the opening splash screen but when it loads the
kernel the screen goes blank.
With Suse, using the failsafe option, it hangs after:

Hello,

fsck -c just calls badblocks, and works only on filesystems it can

smartctl also comes in handy to know about the number of unreadable

badblocks or fsck -c. With today's hard drives, as soon as you start to
detect bad blocks, it means the drive has run out of spare sectors to
automatically remap, and it's time to replace the drive.

Linux Tool (Program) to check for HDD bad sectors

jaylinu...@gmail.com (jaylinux53) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 06:55:37 UT

On a 500 GB SATA Hard Disk- this has partitions as follows:
- 12 GB, 18 GB, 20 GB, 35 GB, 55 GB - Linux (all ext3)
- 200 GB (FAT32)
- 160 GB (NTFS)
This HD is used for installing both Windows XP & Linux openSUSE 11.1
(x86).
I suspect one or more partition (200 GB FAT & the 12 GB ext3) may have
developed bad blocks (sectors). Is there any program that can be used

Until I got the BOIS and the drivers correct, I took an accounting
firm down right in the middle of tax season.
After that, all was happy camping.
Anyway, when you said you had a DAT drive, I presumed you were
running a business server. In your case, with no Intel ICH9/10
chipset (AHCI), a USB drive will work fine.
