  • Bad Sectors

    From Coconut@21:1/122 to All on Tue Feb 11 20:30:00 2020
    Hello my wonderful Atari BBS message forum peeps. I am going through a few
    no label or blank label disks and seeing what is on them and keeping or formatting. I have one disk with 91 bad sectors (ouch) I did do a virus
    removal just incase but am wondering if there is a way to save this poor disk or is it destined for the bin?
