I just bought the Minix 1.5 by mail order from ACW and found that
disk #5 and #8 contain unrecoverable bad blocks. I can't install and
run it because the bad block on disk #5 prevent me access any contents
from it. So, is there any suggestion? Since it might take a while to
send it back and replace it from PH, so that's my last option. Is there
any way that I can recover it or get the disk_image files for these two
disks from somewhere? Any help will be appreciated.
