I have a problem formatting my harddisk (Rodime 70). It has 15 bad sectors
due to my fault (tearing wire while in use). But now after formatting with
Rodime-Formatter 2.03 and initializing within Mac Finder the bad sectors
still seem to be used. I thought that they are registered and skipped,
but I still have disk read errors when accessing the disk.

Anybody knows what happens with bad sectors and what I should do?
