Hi all, I just got another empeg off ebay the other day, it was advertised as having 2 20 gig drives but it showed up in emplode as having only one 20. I started to take it apart and noticed 2 of the 4 hd tray screws were gone, I then got into it finding one 20 gig hitachi drive from a compaq laptop and a toshiba 30 gig also from a compaq in the slave position without a jumper. I prceeded to take the toshiba out and check the first drive, it seemed to work but when I uploaded some tunes I got this:
hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=35178154, sector=3501

This was kinda long so I didn't put it all in there, I know the drive is trashed what I was wondering does emplode mark those spots as bad so it doesn't write to the again? Also I searched the bbs for the serial of this empeg and found this thread So it seems the original owner had some problems with this thing. Here is the ebay link
