I just noticed that two of the disk utilities I have, disk manager and
disk technician advanced are incompatible with the WD1006's customized
disk drive type. Since my disk type is not supported by my
motherboard, the WD's custom drive geometry feature is essential, but
if I use dm or dta to scan for bad blocks, it gets wiped out. 

I'd really like to do additional bad block scanning, are the Norton
Utilities good for this? Spinrite gets lost sometimes.
