- If you've got a copy of Norton, it'll mark the sector as bad and not let
- it get used any more. The only problems might be: a) the bad sector is
- in use by a file now, or b) Norton Disk Doctor doesn't like AutoDoubler.
- If the sector's in use now, copy that file someplace else and then
- delete it from your hard driver before running NDD. I don't think you
- need to worry about b), but I've never used AutoDoubler with Norton
- before, so I can't be sure....
