Subject: NetWare OS Has Stepped On the Bad Block Table But It Has Been

PROBLEM: NetWare OS Has Stepped On the Bad Block Table But It Has Been
Rebuilt
PROGRAM_NAME= COMPSURF.I
NETWARE_VERSION= V2.0A
NETWARE_LEVEL= ADVANCED
TYPE_OF_LAN= S/Net
This error message is generated when a disk has been
COMPSURFed and installed on an Intel based server, and then
COMPSURFed with the 68000 based utility.
The message is very misleading. When this message is
generated, the bad block table has NOT been 'stepped on', but
it has already been converted from LOW-HIGH (Intel) format
to HIGH-LOW (Motorola) format.
Sectors 20 and 21 contain auxiliary information about the bad
blocks on the disk (such as why and when the block was marked
bad). This is the information that has been 'stepped on',
and is what the error message is referring to. This is NOT
a serious problem and the drive should in most cases perform
satisfactorily.
STATUS= VERIFIED
TIC_Notes= In the next major release (following v2.0a), all
conversion of disk formats, bad block considerations, etc.,
will be handled by the disk and installation utilities and
should be completely transparent to the user.
