Thanks for the information Andrue!!  I was hoping there was a structure 
somewhere that had information about bad sectors. I will follow your 
advice.  I have a another program that I market that could use a way of 
checking for bad sectors.  Some of my customers are still using 386 
processors & floppy disks.  And even though I ask them to format the 
floppies & check for bad sectors, some of them don't do it.  So if I get 
something to work for my personal backup program, then I could 
incorporate it into the one my customers use.
