You should be able to block access to the bad parts of a drive. I know I did it a few times on floppy disks. You might need to format it to pull that off, though. I don't remember the details.


 Running Quarterback Tools (commercial) or using Badformat (aminet) will make the bad blocks unreachable/useless to FFS (Fast File System) or OFS (Original File System).
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.
