Hey, Mark...

If you had a bad sector in the section that stored the current playlist order on the scratch partition, what would the command be to zero THAT out?

For instance, this command...

dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 seek=4096 count=28672 of=/dev/hda3

... zeroes out the statistics. What would zero out the stored playlists without erasing the EQ data?

I have a bad sector on the scratch partition where the current playlist order is stored. I am planning to get a new drive once I get settled in a new address. But for now I want to force it to map out the bad sectors in that section while I wait.

(I know, I argued specifically against this earlier in this very thread. I swear: If this works for me and the drive doesn't go completely south because of it, I will FAQ this.)
