Hi...

	Had an older Maxtor(IDE) drive laying around and decided to shove
it into my box.  More swap space, space to put /usr/src...can never have
enough, eh?

	Did a disklabel on it, created the partitions I want, not a problem.
Went to 'bad144' it to create a bad-sector table, and get the following
output.  If it indicates that my drive is hosed, fine...it wasn't *that*
important, and I never paid for it, so I'm not losing any money by not 
using it.  But, if not hosed, how can I salvage it?

Thanks...
