The PC was dropped on its face into a pile in a driveway by a "helper" called "Bear". Meh. As the carved-out sector was at the end of the drive I ran fdisk to "shave" the drive's size down past the scratch. 6 gigs became 4.5. Most great Mac formatting programs offer that same option. Workable only IF the damage is at the end or sometimes near the middle of the drive. Jeff G -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
