IBM PC - Excessive bad sectors & CRC checks after installation

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
IBM PC 300 & 700 Series and PS/ValuePoint systems may exhibit an excessive amount of bad sectors or CRC checks/errors when the IDE or SCSI hardfile is examined by CHKDSK or other disk utilities shortly following installation of the system.

A large percentage of these errors are caused by the mishandling of the system during transportation, installation, or operational damage. Any capacity, type (IDE or SCSI), or brand of hardfile may exhibit this type of failure symptom.

Drives exhibiting this failure symptom should be tested with the systems diagnostic package to verify the failure, then replaced.
