Can anyone help with this Xenix error message?

error on fixed disk (minor 40), block=16544
Error Type 0, Code 3, Unit 0
Write/Drive Fault

The message started appearing with different blocks identified
about a month after installation. About a dozen are now
listed.

I have run 'badtrk' already suspecting a flaw on the disk, but
no new bad tracks appeared.

Is there a way to find out what Cylinder/Head contains the
suspect tracks and put them in the bad track table?
