* The drive knows nothing of filesystem file creation and deletion. You * need to reformat the disk. The latter doesn't follow from the former. :) * By deleting the file you've put the bad block back into play. It will * probably surface elsewhere. Yes, but when the block is allocated again to a file, it will first being written to, at which time the drive will reallocate it. The reason why it initially gave you errors was because the disk cannot pretend nothing bad happened when you have read errors. It can do that for write errors (assuming you haven't run out of spare blocks).
