[Sunhelp] defect block

hey, thanks for replying...
there is only 1 drive, 1 target. this is an IDE disk not SCSI.
that's why, i didn't try probe-scsi.
when i select the disk from format, current, and verify, i get the following:

Specify disk (enter its number): 0
selecting c0d0: TEST
Controller working list found
[disk formatted, defect list found]
Warning: Current Disk has mounted partitions.

format> current
Current Disk = c0d0: TEST
<DEFAULT cyl 1019 alt 2 hd 128 sec 63>
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 4,1/ata at 0/cmdk at 0,0

what else do i do? so far, i continue to be able to boot this disk. but on boot up i get the error:

Whoa - seems you missed some of the first parts.
How many drives - what are the targets?
Does probe-scsi work?
What do you get when you first type #format and then select that disk?
Can you do a current, can you do a verify?

	hello all, using format, analyze, read, i get the following:
	analyze> read
	Ready to analyze (won't harm SunOS). This takes a long time, 
	but is interruptable with CTRL-C. Continue? y^H
	`' is not expected.
	Ready to analyze (won't harm SunOS). This takes a long time, 
	but is interruptable with CTRL-C. Continue? y

	        pass 0
	   8/2/0    

	Warning:Cannot access drive, aborting surface analysis.

	what should i do with this? repair? and how do i verify that this
sector is really damaged? as i can still boot using this hdd.

	thanks a lot in advance..
	-Ana
