I have some floppy disks that have only a few bad sectors on them, but I see no way to use them. If the format finds only one basd sector, it refuses to format the disk any further. Is there a way to make those disk useable (as storge media, of course :-)? Thanks, Jurjen

I believe it's shareware and it does exactly what you described, but it's transparent to the user. Just stick it in the System Folder and restart.
