Quote: K, i'll give that a shot. Is there no way to get the drive to map the bad sector so it won't use it anymore? I'd always assumed disk check utils did that... but you know what they say about assuming.
The drive will map it out of use on the next write to that sector. But until rewritten, it has to continue returning "error" on reads, to guarantee that we know we've lost data.
