DJRon,
I am currently attempting to pre-clear my drive again and things seem to be going well. So I thought I'd give you an update.
Since my last attempt back in August, it seems there has been an update to the pre-clear script.
I attempted to run it just doing a clear - 1 pass.
this failed.
I attempted to verify all of the Disk, and then just the MBR
this failed
I attempted to get a smart status report:
this failed
I am currently running the pre clear script set to erase all of disk and then clear - 1 pass
currently at pre-read 30%
if this fails I will assume the drive is dead and I will try the preclear with a new drive.
IF this works I will update and let you know how it goes.
So maybe give it a try again, I hope it goes well for you!
