[PLUG] Sata 160 GB

[Rajiv Gore]

Dear Sir
I have a new  160 GB SATA hard disk .I have  installed Mandriva 2007.
After re booting the system , hard disk shows bad blocks and doesnot boot.
I tried FC 6 as well as Suse 10.2 but same problem.
Want to know if I need any special precaution to  use 160 GB HD on Linux?
Please help.
Thanks
