One of my FreeBSD development boxes had a hernia last week when it lost power while writing to disk. The drive wrote out garbage to a track.
I want to reformat the drive, (low level) but the bios doesn't have any support to do this (In the past That is how I did this). The machiine has 1 CD drive and no floppy..
anyone with any ideas as to how one can reformat a hard drive feel free to lend me a clue..
Boot from a fixit CD, and use dd to zero out the whole disk, e.g.:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0c
