Bad sector un-flag?
I'm looking for a way to un-flag bad sectors on my DOS boot partition.
The July version of WinNT malfunctioned several times on reboot because of my
improperly terminated SCSI bus, and its version of 'chkdsk' runs on start-up,
and it marked some sectors as bad when they actually aren't. I think this has
eaten up several megs of hard disk space.
I realize that a format and restore will solve the problem, but I'd like to
avoid the risk and hassle.
If I engage in a format and restore, what do I need to worry about when it
comes to the WinNT boot loader? Can I safely enter WinNT, format the boot
partition, restore via WinNT Backup, and be on my way?
