Keywords: Bad sectors Message-ID: <2899@hexagon.se> Date: 7 Mar 91 14:34:25 GMT Sender: pa@hexagon.se Organization: Hexagon Computer Club, OErebro, Sweden Lines: 19 Hello there! I've just gotten hold of a 30 M hard disk and now here is the trouble. (The type or whatsoever is irrelevant.) Background: After formatting, the fysical bad sector marking begins but the program can't find any bad one's even though there are some fabricial faults on it. Q: How do I mark them, or more specificaly, how is the list of bad sectors built. I know where to find it but not how to use/modify it. Please email (or why not post?) any replies to: pa@hexagon.se AdvTHANKSance!
