Hi. I've got an OD that was going south for a while. It basically made  
a 
mess of my two optical disks. Yeah, I know, I should have had them write protected.

Anyway, now that I have cleaned my OD, the disks are still reported unusable.
I don't know if it's the disks or if it's the drive.

1) Is there any way to do a "low-level" format on the disks?
2) Are the disks repairable?


Please respond via email, since my access to the c.s.next.* groups will end when I go back to school.

Thanks!
