For a long time, drives will show a bad sector only when the hardware has run out of spares in the neighborhood. When it shows a bad block, there is more that one problem already on the disk. Probably useful as a learning experience watching a disk slowly go bad. However you do not want to put your only copy of anything important on it. > > Thanks > > > Paulo Manoel Mafra > LCMI - Laboratorio de Controle e Micro Informatica > Departamento de Automagco e Sistemas - UFSC
