Bob and other group guru's,
You are obviously very knowledgeable in this procedure. I have a HD that has bad sectors
as you describe that I have downloaded the utility from the manufacturer. If I understand
you correctly, I will have to FDISK it and then FORMAT it before I can reinstall the
operating system? I am unfamiliar with these procedures but, would like to be. would it be
possible for you or the group to spell it out for an amateur?
