  I have just recently purchased an Amiga 500 and have had
a few problems with the internal drive.  At first the drive
seemed misaligned, so I brought it in to my local amiga
store to have the drive aligned. After bringing it home, 
I put in my copy of my workbench and it had a read error.
These read errors seemed to spread to a few of my other disks.
I decided to bring my A500 and external drive in
again to have them fully checked out.  They both passed.
So I got a new copy of workbench and checked out all my disks
with diskdoctor to see if they had any hard errors.  My
original workbench disk had 10 hard errors.
Later I tried to boot up my new workbench again and ONCE
AGAIN I GOT READ ERRORS!!!  I, being very annoyed at this time,
reformated my original workbench and used diskdoctor on
it one more time.  This time it checked out to have NO
hard errors!  Do I have some sort of virus or is my drive
trashing my disks?
