I've started getting some (apparently 'soft') errors on one of the partitions
of my ST-277N, interfaced to an A1000 through a Starboard/StarDrive.  Before
I go reformatting and/or reinitializing things willy-nilly, does anyone have
any comments on how to get rid of such problems?  It seems to be only in one
of the partitions (3-20 meg partitions and one 2.5 meg; the "middle" 20 meg
has the problem).  Hitting 'retry' once or twice when the error comes up
seems to solve the problem, and no data appears to be lost.  Any thoughts on
what might cause this and what I might try to solve it would be appreciated.
