[msspal@xxxxxxxx (Donald G. Knecht)]

dropped my dual boot laptop, DOH!
was booted into linux at the time (SuSE 6.1) and naturally that partion
took the major damage, after running fsck several times it still
wouldn't boot up all the way, it would get lost trying to start some of
the services........
is there a linux/unix utility that will mark bad clusters/blocks, maybe
before or during the format of the partion - so that yast won't try to
install programs on them? can such a program be run from a rescue
floppy?
TIA
