	Hi.   I have a few questions concerning bad block and track/sector
re-allocation. I have a few drives that have sector 0 totally wiped out.
What i wanted to do was totally re-allocate track 0 else where.

I tried silverlining, LoDOWN, MicroNET, SUM, SUM II, Norton,and DPI.

But all failed to re-allocate the track. It is a 145Meg Hard disk
with a total of a couple of bad sectors. It succesfully R/W to the rest
of this disk, but fails to boot and mount.

Is there any solution to this problem. How can such a minor fault within say
a 32 memory space write off 140mb disk. Is there a program powerful enough
to actually analize this disk without crashing.

oh well.   Thanks in Advance.
