I have had packs on rare occasions which when I
first obtained
them had a few records which were unreadable - and a clean
reformat made them 100% error free.
Err, I thought RL02 packs came pre-formatted (at least, the low-level
stuff like sector headers, etc), and could not be field re-formatted?
Or are you simply talking of a high-level re-format (i.e. the file
system), which might write all data blocks to zero or something,
thereby getting rid of the un-readable contents of such blocks?
