Any hard drive made in the last decade have been self-remapping.. Attempting to write to a bad block will cause the hard drive to remap an unused sector into it's place, until the drive runs out of said "unused" backup sectors, and at that time, will begin simply begin just "losing" storage space... IE the number of total sectors on the drive will begin to shrink. -- Chuck Burns
