John; What controller are you using? The only controller/software combination that I personally know of that handles bad block mapping is the GVP FaastPrep. I am sure that there are other (Microbiotics, etc) but I have no experience with them. CBM is sorely lacking in that area. If you know the bad block numbers then Prep (or HDTool box on 2.0) will let you tell the system to map out the bad blocks. If I understand your request, you want to find a utility that will do the test, give you a list of bad blocks and allow you to then map them out be allocating the blocks to a dummy file…yes? I believe that such software exists but I don't know what it is or where to find it. An Amiga message processed by Whap!, bill
