Could someone tell me how to update the bad block list on this internal EIDE drive? The "diskdefect" command seems to only work with floppy disks from what I can tell from the man page and it's behaviour when run against wd0. Or will I need to repartition the drive to leave out these two blocks (1517534-1517535)? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer! -Mike Pelletier.
