I'll tell you what - take my thanks for your advice and a running jump for the rest. I told the forum that Linux is not my OS but you clearly didn't get that in your ivory tower. I'll seek help elsewhere where they are not so up their own A**e.

I am getting the following. Is this how you intend I use the command? mint@mint ~ $ sudo /home/mint/humaxrw Humax disk not found mint@mint ~ $ /home/mint/humaxrw Humax disk not found mint@mint ~ $ sudo -i /home/mint/humaxrw Humax disk not found mint@mint ~ $ ./home/mint/humaxrw bash...

I can try badblocks again now if you still need it but it does take several hours to run as you no doubt know, so i will only do it after you have revised the above?

I tried various versions of humaxrw code and they gave: mint ~ # humaxrw /dev/sdc -l humaxrw: command not found mint ~ # mint ~ # ./humaxrw /dev/sdc -l -bash: ./humaxrw: No such file or directory mint ~ # sudo ./humaxrw /dev/sdc -l -r sudo: ./humaxrw: command not found mint ~ # ./humaxrw...

And further: mint ~ # smartctl -a /dev/sdc|grep ^19[78] 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 8 mint ~ #

This what first part produced: mint ~ # while read block; do hdparm --repair-sector $block --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing /dev/sdc; done </tmp/bad /dev/sdc: re-writing sector 566106440: succeeded /dev/sdc: re-writing sector 566106441: succeeded /dev/sdc: re-writing sector 566106442: succeeded...

Amended post. I will report shortly.

I will try that.

After running above it produced: mint mint # sudo -i mint ~ # badblocks -b 512 -sv /dev/sdc 1>/tmp/bad Checking blocks 0 to 625142447 Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): 0.00% done, 0:00 elapsed. (0/0/0 errdone Pass completed, 40 bad...

This what badblocks -b 512 -sv /dev/sdc 1>/tmp/bad produced: mint@mint ~ $ badblocks -b 512 -sv /dev/sdc 1>/tmp/bad badblocks: Permission denied while trying to determine device size
