- Why don't you use the Modify Bad Block List in the HDToolBox??? The only
- thing QBtools does is write a BAD Block file on the parts that are bad, but
- thats Temporary, and as soon as you do a Disk Optimize on it, it's no longer
- doing any good, where as the Modify Bad Block disk willl Modify the Hard Drive
- not to use them, It's Automatic, it just takes time to do depending on how
- large your Hard Drive is.
