- You may need to boot off your WorkBench disk and run HDToolbox to test
- the blocks on the drive. If it finds a bad block you can then mark it as
- bad. You may want to run this check a couple of times. You can then format
- the drive again and restore from backup. Sometimes a marginal block can be
- read/written to but eventually it fails (usually when you haven't backed up).
