I'm posting this question for a friend, who hasn't an account yet.
Original article follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm running Minix V1.2 on an IBM PC-AT clone with a 20 MB Seagate HD.
The HD is formatted with DOS 3.3. DOS detects all bad sectors on the
HD, but Minix doesn't.
The Harddisk compatibility-test runs without errors, but Minix tries to
write on the bad sectors and fails.

How can I handle this problem ???
