Some low level format utilities that come with the hard drive can also
replace mismarked bad sectors. I used Maxtor's on an 850Mb hard drive
that, through mistaken sectyor marking in Win 95, appeared to be full of
bad sectors. Turned out that there was only one in reality and used the HD
for about two years after with no problems. Spinrite is supposed to be
really good.

| can correct mis marked sectors--sectors that have been marked
| incorrectly as bad (or good). It can also retrieve data from a
| bad
| sector.
