If errors are starting to appear then it is time to consider
replacing it. LL formatting cannot be done on modern IDE drives, and
the 'formatters' that turn up from time to time aren't really
low-level. Some of these are able to re-adjust the internal
'spared-out' sectors table, but a drive that is starting to show
errors isn't woth the effort IMHO.
