[ale] New hard drive procedure

[devnull at iamdevnull.info (Sam Rakowski)]

Hi,

I've purchased a new hard drive(magnetic) to replace an old one that has
some bad sectors on it. I haven't ever bought a new hard drive; most of my
hard drives come used or part of a new device.

I'm just interested in hearing what you all run through when you receive a
new hard drive. Zero it? Run badblocks? All or none of the above?

Sam
