So, my default figure is wrong. I will change to what you recommend -but do
I then have to change any other values? eg Mask.

The drive when corrupt won't boot - it spins up, gets about half way through
start-up, and then 'chatters'
I suppose this is the best description, and it will not get any further. I
can access the rest of the partitions if I got to early boot options and
disable that particular partition. It's done it twice now. The drive
however reports no bad blocks or errors from HDToolBox. Quarterback won't
work on a partition it can't see.
