I tried everything that I could think of, but nothing works. Finally I found out that the boot sector is bad. My question is: How do I format the disk, bypassing that bad sector? It is possible? I must mention that I used the Seagate utility software to locate the bad sector and map it out, but the hard disk still refuses to boot! Please help! This is urgent! ***/\/\****/\/\******/\/\****/\* Saiid Paryavi **/*/\*\**/*/\*\****/*/\*\**/*/* paryavi@ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu */*/**\*\/*/**\*\**/*/**\*\/*/** paryavi@ksuvax1.BITNET *\/****\/\/****\*\/\/****\/\/*** {pyramid,ucsd}!ncr-sd!ncrwic!ksuvax1!paryavi
