Thank you for several people give me the hint. The hard disk error has
been fix. I don't know this fix is perment or temporary.

1. I use FORMAT ==> analyze to find error block and use FORMAT ==>
REPAIR to fix it.

2. Some people mention the disk is bad or soon be bad and need be
repair. I don't know is it true or not? The hard disk is brand new and
just purchase from SUN no more than two months.
