I had not zeroed my drive prior to installing Fedora 12 so I attempted to follow Andrew's suggestion (#91). Unfortunately every time I try dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda (which is definitely my 32GB SSD) I get the following error:
dd: writing to '/dev/sda': Input/output error
676065+0 records in
676064+0 records out
346144768 byte (346 MB) copied, 82.0451 s, 4.2 MB/s

It's always 346MB, never more nor less. Has my drive fallen victim to this bug and been damaged in some way?
