It has 15 bad sectors due to my fault (tearing wire while in use). But now after formatting with Rodime-Formatter 2.03 and initializing within Mac Finder the bad sectors still seem to be used. I thought that they are registered and skipped, but I still have disk read errors when accessing the disk. Anybody knows what happens with bad sectors and what I should do?
