DH0: NDOS - argghh! can I recover/repair?

[CDE_MusiX]

hmm, on workbench is available a tool to partiton hard drives with custom capacity?
And, if while formatting partitions i find bad sectors?!?   :-(

@CDE_MusiX:  yes this tool is HDToolBox and you find it in Tools dir. if the format can't solve the problem get a newer hard disk...

[CDE_MusiX]

also for the case of the bad sectors? on the same wb3.1 disk is not possible to "disable" the bad sectors (like scandisk of MS-DOS/Windows 3.1/9x)

i have quiet 6 years to use wb3.1 so i cant remember anymore but i believe that in the HDToolBox there is an option to check for bad sectors. an other option is to use a repair tool as abtools or quarteback or disksalv, check on aminet for this kind of repair tools

Believe me, you don't want to handle bad sectors manually. Modern HDDs manage bad sectors internally. If *you* see a bad sector, the drive already has *so many* bad sectors that it is dying. So the advice to get a new hdd in case of bad blocks is best.
