   Thanks. You write "In Ub, disks can do that raphically". I take it   
   "Ub" means Ubuntu. Where in Ubuntu should I see the D disc? In teh   
   program "Files"? Here I only see files and folders, not discs, and I   
   find no  possibility to see the SMARTdata, not by right-click and not   
   in any menus. Please help an ignorant idiot :-)   
      
   By the way, I tried to use the fsck command. The command would not run   
   on a mounted discs, and I was told to reboot while holding shift, to   
   arrive in a spesial repair menu. However, holding down Shift or both   
   Shift-keys only resulted in normal bootings.   
   Also tried the command "badblocks in Terminal. It ran for appr. 10   
   minutes and found no errors.   
      
   Best regards
