Use a different drive? It's normal for drives to have bad blocks, they used to be printed on a label attached to the drive, modern drives have spare capacity which is automatically allocated over bad or failing blocks. If this isn't happening any more, the drive is not worth trusting. > One solution is to create two partitions without the bad block and use > ccd.
