First, do not run 'badtrk' on SCSI drives. It was not meant for this, but
for all other dumb interfaces (MFM/RLL/ESDI). If you have gotten some
errors on some sectors, then your best recourse is to backup all data
and then reformat the drive using the on-board BIOS routine. This will
deallocate the suspect sectors and you will be back in business. I know its
a pain, but until, the driver in XENIX gets a little more sophisticated,
its your best bet.
