    Anychance you can help me down this path a little more? What is it I am
    suppose to do? I found this:
    http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_hdparm.htm

    The best thing I see is "-D Enable/disable the on-drive defect management
    feature"

    Coudl you elaborate on what I should do?

    Thank you.
