I have an A2090 connected to a seagate ST-251 and a Micropolis 1351.  The 
Seagate is partitioned into two partitions 22 cylinders for DH0: and the rest
for Fast: an ffs partition. DH0: developed a key set error and then became a 
Not a Dos Disk right after on reboot. I then diskdoctored the dh0: partition
and diskdoctor relayed that cylinder two of all surfaces had hard errors and 
then continued to run. At completion diskdoctor instructed to copy and format
like always,  I should say that everything is C= 1.3 except for the CSA 1.2.2
Kickstart in 32 bit on the dragstrip board. workbench is all 1.3 though 
	 	
	I then attempted to format and format failed and came back to cli prompt
After that the system refused to acknowledge there was a disk in unit 1.
At the same time the FFS partition continued to function properly with
no trouble.  Info tells me there is no disk present in DH0: 

    Is there a program on the Amiga to low level check the seagate
so I can mapout the hard errors. (BTW I have tried to reformat and diskdoctor 
the partition repeatedly I have even reprepped it and get the same results)
