I updated it to mark used also, but then I have to use CHKDSK (which KNOWS bad sectors) to "cut" the files at the bad sectors position. The error is that CHKDSK puts the FFF mark in the place of the BadSector mark, when a file is "cutted". So, after run CHKDSK we have to run BADSCAN again. This is why I'm trying to integrate them... And about relocate bad sectors... I think maybe there is no way... (-; Not using the default (standard) read methods. >I think (because of what you told me) not.
