you are fine. Apparently, 34 sectors were re-allocated before you performed the preclear, and the same 34 existed afterwords. In other words, no additional were detected. I'd go ahead and use the drive, but monitor it over the next months/years. I've got several old drives where an initial number of re-allocated sectors does not change, and they work perfectly fine. If you have time, give it another preclear cycle. I hate to ask this but I searched and could find it but what type of errors am I looking for. I have another 10 drives to do and I don't want to keep bugging you. Is there anything special I should be looking at? Or is ok to just post them for someone to take a look at? Thanks for the quick response. jets
