Huh, they are rather low-level. I wonder how you managed to ``correct'' them with NDD. Probably NDD did only include them into the DOS bad sector list? You could also use the ``bad144'' bad sector replacement on BSD, but if i were you, i would backup the entire disk, and see to hardware- reformat it. (I hope it's not a Quantum, they cannot be formatted at all.) Note that ``hardware-reformat'' is quite different from what DOS' format program does; it requires a special utility that is usually available from several disk manufacturers. Of course, you could go SCSI :), where disk formatting is standardized. Then you can use /sbin/scsiformat... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
