The "destruction" is rather complete. There will be at least one block (often block #2) that can't be read by anything, Block Warden, Mr. Fixit, Copy //+, etc. What is unusual (to me at least) is the I will not be able to reformat the disk. The munged block stays forever munged. But it is not "consistent" in the sense that everytime I write to the disk, I get this problem. Just occassionally.
