I'm 11.5 hours into a manual fsck on a 60GB drive. Quite a few duplicate/bad blocks so far. Dead or dying drive, right?

I'm doing this because a sync was interrupted when I tripped over the power supply and unplugged the empeg power. I had been having intermittent no hard drive detected errors on startup, but I had been attributing those to an IDE header that needs soldering.

Is there any situation where a properly functioning 60GB disk would take this long to complete fsck?

Thanks again, guys.

Jim
