Subject: bad block recovery
Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 07:54:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <PCEBLNKIDOKLBPDJECFEEEBBDHAA.sbardsley@rlwinc.com> (raw)
Greetings:
I have a DOC 2000 and cannot format it using the DOS dformat
tool supplied by M-Systems. My ultimate goal is to boot a linux
kernel from the chip, and use the chip as a disk.
The only reason I have come up with for no being able to format
is that the bad block list is gone. I have come to this conclusion
after reading then M-Systems FAQ, and some of this lists archives.
Is there anyway to recover the bad block list? I do not have a backup
of it.
My understanding is that the chip is now "unreliable", which I can
live with for now. Does unreliable mean I can still use the chip
if I can somehow format it?
The bottom line is that I want to use the chip if at all possible,
even if it is unreliable. I would appreciate any input on the subject.
Thanks.
Steve
