    Does anyone have any idea how to mark a block as bad on a floppy or
     hard disk?  I know DOS does it if you hit CANCEL on the read/write
     error requester, but I can find no reference to it in any manual.
                                      
        I also cannot find any means of doing it in the RootBlock or
                           UserDirBlock blocks.  
                                      
                                   Help!
 
(By the way, I looking for a way to do this from C, not for a program
that does it for me).
