I'm really, really new w/ Linux, I would really appreciate anyone's help with my problem.
I've recently installed Red Hat entreprise 4 and need to ghost it so that I may copy the image to 30 other machines. I've spent alot of time installing the OS, drivers, updates, etc. The problem I'm having now is that Symantec ghost detects bad sectors in the hard drive and won't let me create an image of it.
So my question is...
Is there anyway to repair the bad sectors in linux or get around this?
