Nothing practical, anyway.

So is there a way to fix this?
If I have to get a new drive i'll have to put my music back on anyway so maybe I can practice on this one.


If smartctl showed *only* a (very) few number of bad sectors, then you can probably repair the drive yourself, at the expense of having to reload everything back onto it afterwards.

This command will wipe the drive, causing the drive firmware to auto-repair the bad sectors (as long as there aren't too many of them):

cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda

It will take about 10 hours to complete (unless my math is wrong, definitely possible), and should finish with an error message like this one: no space left on device.

You'll then have to install the drive builder image using a null-modem serial cable, and then reinstall the player software and Hijack.
