Right.  DETECT is stupid.  Try using the Norton Utilities's DiskTest
program.  If it finds any bad sectors, it will mark them.  Of course,
this only works on MS-DOG partitions.

Also, Zenith's PREP tests the disk for a half an hour which Everex's
doesn't do.  So, after a PREP, your disk should be completely marked
with bad sectors, and Norton's DiskTest won't find any new bad sectors.
