I have a Kaypro 10 running CPM 2.2 and have been receiving occasional 'System
Status 02 - BDOS error'. I have run the CHECK program that came with the 
machine and have received the following errors on the hard disk:

Verify error drive 1 cyl 280 head 1 sector 11 (unc)  sdh=10101001
Verify error drive 1 cyl 303 head 3 sector 11 (unc)  sdh=10101011

CHECK will also report the  occasional correctable (cor) errors that clear
up the next time it is run, but these 2 always show up.  I have run FINDBAD
on the disk and it neither reports nor locks out any bad sectors.  

Does anyone know of a program I could get that would allow me the option of
selectively locking out bad sectors?  I would like to fix this without 
having to buy a new hard disk.  Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,
