I have a Mirror removable harddrive, which gives me headache. When I try to optimize the disk with DiskExpress or Norton Speeddisk these programs reports a lot of bad sectors on the disk and says it needs to be reformatted. If I test the disk with Mirrors own software Media Manager it also reports bad blocks and advices me to reformat the disk. Now the problem is that it is a hell of a job to move 40 meg of software back and forth, reformat the disk and then after a day or two find new bad sectors. Sowhat I want to know is if there is a way to go around this bad sectors or to neutralize them in some smart way, without reformatting the whole disk.
