[comp.sys.mac.system] Help! HD Setup won't format Apple 20 meg.

A friend of mine just got an HP Deskwriter and had a real bad software crash. I
 recovered most of the stuff from his hard disk (Apple 20 mb, SE-FDHD/2.5 megs
RAM). I then attempted to reformat (to lock out the bad sectors) with Apple HD
Setup, it said that the initialization could not continue and has failed. I the
n load Disk First Aid. DFA said that it was not an HFS Disk but the Init Disk c
ommand formatted the HD. I still think that there may be some bad sectors since
 erasing a disk isn't the same as initializing the disk. HD Setup won't work th
ough. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Purchase a copy of SilverLining from LaCie (get the address from MacUser
Mag). Will cost about $60 but well worth the investment. Will do the job too!
