If I remember right, you should throw away your SCSI or IDE drive if you find bad sectors after low-level formating. The drive itself is intelligent and hides defects to the "user", so if you find any defect, your drive is trash at all.
IIRC modern harddrives don't actually 'do' a lowlevel format. Or something, not that I have any idea what a lowlevel format actually is :crazy:.
