Bad sector un-flag?
John,
If your really REALLY confident and know what you are doing, you can use the
PC Shell disk editor to edit the FATs directly. PCTools v8 and v9 have a disk
editor that makes the job much easier, because that version of DiskEdit have
actual FAT viewers which are designed to do the task you describe. I haven't
had any access to WinNT, so I refer those questions to Microsoft.
(BTW, versions of Norton Utilites that were contemporary to PCTools v7 had a
disk editor similar to the one found in PCTools v8+.)
