The drive won't automatically slip a sector on a read failure without recovered data. You'll have to write to that location - read the block, ignore the failure, write back. You will lose data that way. I have a program that will use REASSIGN BLOCKS to reassign the blocks. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc. Voice: 508 433 6936 dufault@hda.com Fax: 508 433 5267
