r4yOK, so I checked this hard drive with disk utility and everything is good. I also ran fsck and e2fsck and it is clean04:56
r4yThis is before and after installing Ubuntu04:56
r4yI wanted to point something out, maybe I am not doing this right, but hey I might as well say it04:58
r4yhttp://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/04:58
r4yfrom this link this command doesn't work04:59
r4yshutdown -rF now04:59
r4yall it does for me is reboot04:59
r4yInstead I do:04:59
r4y"sudo touch /forcefsck", then I reboot04:59
r4yholstein asked if my ram was bad and I checked it like he said to and there were no errors so my ram is good05:00
r4yI said that the supposed bad sectors might have been the Ubuntu install05:01
r4yI said it was Ubuntu 10.04 but I realize that that was an install of 10.1005:02
r4yI remember there being a problem when installing 10.10 on the CD I made and looked it up to find that when installing that I had to make the menu pop up and pick to install Ubuntu05:03
r4yinstead of letting the CD load and then installing05:03
r4yAnyways, I am done with resolving my hard drive problems I think.05:04
r4yThere seems to be no problems:05:04

r4yI ran all tests in Disk Utility as I said before. Also I found this link05:06

r4yI remember reading about and installing smartmontools05:09
r4yHow do I know if my motherboard has smart though?05:09
r4yI asked at the ubuntu channel and I was suggested to install and try it out because it can't hurt05:28
r4yIt was said that modern motherboards have s.m.a.r.t.05:29

r4yI want to know if this output is OK08:03
r4yhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/736999/08:03
r4yI says passed, so it must be OK08:04
r4yThese are the lines that concerned me:08:05
r4yhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/737003/08:05
r4yI am making notes for future reference and I am confused about this.08:54
r4yWhat is the -f for in this command?: "sudo fsck.ext4 -fv /dev/sda1". is it forced?, I don't see it in the manpage for fsck08:55
r4y-v is verbose08:55
nlsthznr4y, checked the man page:  -f     Force checking even if the file system seems clean.09:09
r4yThank you for the info09:10
