Hello NG
What do you do with a Toshiba 2,5'' ATA disk drive with some bad
sectors ? There is no way to make a low level format with bad sector
management like for hitachi / ibm disks ?
So you have to throw it away if it has some bad blocks ?

Thank you for the explanation.
What ever it dose, how ever you call it - it can handle bad sectors.
The toshi-dirtbox can't. You know I'm angry with these disks. It's not
only that they can't do that. What is really worth is that have very
often and soon some bad sectors.

These HDs seem to have a penchant for dieing just after the one year
warranty expires. There has been a lot written about them recently in
various places.
If you already know it has bad sectors, then it has one foot in the
grave. Back up your data NOW, and replace the drive with a non-Toshiba
model. I like Hitachi for 2.5" drives.
