I have a Jaz disk that seems to have some bad sectors. Copying to it
appears OK, but you won't be able to copy files to another disk. I'd like
to have the system take the bad sectors out so no files can be copied to
that location. I have tried reformatting it. It took longer time when it
reached bad sectors. It appeared to work since I can find different areas
as system files when checking with Win2K default defragmentation program.
In reality, it does not appear to be 100% reliable. I still cannot copy
files from the disk sometimes. I wonder if there is a better program that
can do better job than Windows.
Thanks for any suggestions,
