A problem I've never seen before on my W98 system:
Started during normal processing -- hard drive starts seeking and re-seeking
(clicking) endlessly and I must reboot.
Tried to find the error with scandisk surface analysis, but it gets to
sector 32007 and hangs endlessly, too, clicking away. Always 32007.
Does this smell like corruption or a surface problem?
I'd like to try a fix before trying to reformat.
