Message-ID: <ANDERSON.92Aug25134225@zymurgy.bms.com> Sender: news@synapse.bms.com Organization: BMS Pharmaceutical Research Institute Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1992 18:42:25 GMT Lines: 19 Is there a limit on the number of blocks that can me labeled bad by bad144? I have 12 cylinders of 26 sectors (312 blocks) bad on my RLL disk. When I run bad144 -a -c wd0 block#, it keeps saying that the bad sector table contains duplicates. However, bad144 never prints out a list containing the blocks that I entered :-(. Any light on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
