Hello,

I have a Suse Linux system. I have had a HP Pavilion laptop (zv5000)
for a little more than 2 years and the hard drive appears to be faulty
- after only 2 years ;-/

 I have been able to run the Suse Rescue program to get some kind of OS
up and going:

     Linux Rescue 2.6.4-52 .. i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I get the following error:

    reiserfs_read_locked_inode: i/o failure occurred trying to find
stat

which is exactly like the problem stated in this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.os.linux.suse/browse_frm/thread/fac1040564d7c1cf/0a0c77087bd58d65?lnk=st&q=reiserfs_read_locked_inode&rnum=5#0a0c77087bd58d65

The advice I have been seeing online specifies to get a list of bad
blocks and then running a command upon them (the bad blocks) as
specified on this page:

http://www.namesys.com/bad-block-handling.html

**My problem: I do not know how to get the outuput of the list of
"badblocks" to a file.

**My question is: Is there some way to repair the blocks by using just
*one* command on the entiere hard disk system? In otherwords, can I do:

     command_name /dev/hda

and then have *all* the bad blocks repaired?

-OR-

is there a way to get this list to a file?

-OR-

Is there another way to address this problem?

I am soooo disappointed with this laptop. I have another laptop from
Compaq (a 1700) that is *much* older and I never had any problems
whereas with this HP, it goes out a little after 2 years.

TIA
