Hi,

I have an old iRiver IHP-120 hard disk ogg vorbis and mp3 player whose disk 
has got partly damaged. It still works and I'd like to format the disk so 
that the range of blocks where the damage is will be marked bad.

I've already tried to format with -c option but it takes way too long. At the 
moment I'm scanning the disk with badblocks to get an idea where the damage 
is (the range of blocks that are mostly bad).

How should I format the disk or how do I choose the correct block size and 
should I first create a file with a long list of block numbers and give this 
file to mkdosfs with the -l option?

Cheers,
Teemu
