Two questions...
1. Each time I boot my notebook computer into Mandrake Linux 7.0, I get a
horrendous screech because the Microphone input and the Speaker outputs
are both turned on to maximum. How can I prevent this?
2. Under Linux, what program do I run to check the hard disk for bad
sectors? (i.e., what's the equivalent of SCANDISK or Norton Utilities)
