The truth is that the on-board BIOS clears the screen
and displays a message
essentially saying "your low-level format attempt was stopped so that the
existing bad sector mapping table could be preserved, press ctrl-alt-delete"
(although powering the system off is actually what is required to continue).
So that's the real reason SpinRite won't touch it.
That's insanely strange. I wonder what is so precious about their factory
bad track table...
