[allen2]

You need to check on your hard drive manufacturer web site for the diagnostic tools:

. Seatools for Seagate/Maxtor drives.

- Datalifeguard for Western Digital drives.

- OGT or drive fitness for Hitachi drives.

- Estool for Samsung drives.

Most links are there for allmost all brands.

Like I said previously, there are no tools for toshiba hdd (and especially mine)... and your link is a confirmation.

Well.... I just ended my first ubuntu install and it works...

I want to thank all the persons who gave me advices and links.

I have learnt lots of things this last week.

I still have other computer running windows.

So it will be useful (but I'll prefer never have another problem like this one)
