The affected disk is a EIDE drive. I have suddenly come across a bad sector that is affecting only 4 files in the /usr/libexec directory. These are catman.local, makewhatis.local, telnetd and ld.so. I have copied all the files, except these 4, into a backup directory. bad144 and badsect do not work as I can't access ld.so. How can I recover from this and mark the sectors bad? Thanks, Mark
