I've had more than a few times when I've thought my DOC was completely dead, and I've always been able to revive it with an older M-Sys utility called "docpmap.exe". I recall that this command could be dangerous - it had the ability to completely erase the DOC, including the bad block table. I don't think this utility is available anymore, but similar functionality may be available through command line options to DFORMAT. It's also possible that eraseall and nftl_format under Linux could fix things up, but that may trash the BBT as well.
