Last night I was feeling adventurous, and tried to format a bunch of
disks that 6.0.7 said were bad.  They formatted (much to my surprise.).
During formatting, however, the disks were verified twice (the format
dialog said Re-Varifying format).  Is this some new feature that allows
7.0 to accept disks that have small problems?  Should I be cautious
about using disks when this occurs?  Thanks for your help.
