[06:20] stupid thing makes bad blocks when other software tries to get in [06:23] how did you find that out Kilos? [06:25] by searching for samsung HD204UI repair tools [06:26] http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/SamsungF4EGBadBlocks [06:27] that is good to know [06:28] hehe but finding the patch and doing it is another story [06:32] hi zeref the hmmmer [06:46] and the patch is in german [06:46] hi jrgns [06:47] morning Kilos [06:56] and wont boot past initdisk [06:56] grrr [06:57] only in German Kilos? maybe time to learn a new language?
