  There is a very handy INIT called BAD that does exactly this.  Once the Finder
fails to initialize the disk, BAD puts up a second dialog asking you to reinsert
the disk.  It will block out all bad sectors and leave you with a very usable
disk.  The program is shareware, I think, and should be available from sumex.
