	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>

	format> verify

	Primary label contents:

	acyl        =    2
	bcyl        =    0

	  9 alternates    wu       1 -    2        7.88MB    (2/0/0)

	what else do i do? so far, i continue to be able to boot this disk.
but on boot up i get the error:
	Apr  5 15:43:26 adtxph02 savecore: open("/dev/dump"): Permission

	Apr  5 15:43:26 adtxph02 savecore: open("/dev/dsk/c0d0s4"):

	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..
