FreeBSD 2.0.5 reports several unreadable sectors on my
ZIP disk (which is disconcerting since I've only been
using the disk for a month).  The sectors are 16-19
which fall on some part of the disk which prevents
mount from mounting the file system or fsck from fixing
it.

Anyone else have a similar problem?  What's the
best way to proceed?

Thanks,

Ben
