The case of the bad sectors is the basic matter with the hard disk.
The question is should we return it or try to bypass the bad sector
area. In this case - some helping tool is needed. The DM can possibly
tell how the bad sectors are *distributed* over the logical disk area.

It may be possible to setup the partition position with the OS/2 Boot
Manager by creating one/many dummy partition/s. The price to pay is
the use of the Boot Manager etc. This may be acceptable in most cases.
