Hey Everyone,

I have a Fujitsu MPG3204AT 20Gig HD that has got some bad blocks on it. I've tried to format it in Windows and from DOS but it doesnt want to is there anyway program that can mark them as bad or will format it.

Thanks

If you put the maxtor somewhere in the system with the Fujitsu you would be able to use Maxblast 3 on it to do a LL format. I've heard some reports that it has cleared-up bad blocks/sectors.
