So anyway, when I was formatting the disk, it didn't seem to like the last
4-6 tracks or so. Above the clatter of the noisy fan (bad bearings) I
could hear the head recalibrating. When the format finished, it reported
107520 bytes in bad sectors. This comes out to 210 bad sectors (assuming
512 bytes per sector) which comes out to some weird number of tracks.
Aren't there supposed to be 26 sectors per track?
-snip again-
sounds like 4 bad tracks, plus a few bad sectors elsewhere..
