InnerDrive error

I decided to test my AI InnerDrives using the utilities that came with them, Disk Doctor and ID formatter. One drive came back with 3 errors that Disk Doctor war unable to correct.

My first thought was to format the drive but 8 bit drives are hard to find and there’s a possibility that the formatting might fail leaving me with a dead drive. Right now the drive is functional though I assume that if I try to write to those sectors the file will likely be corrupted.

Use something like C2P

Use something like C2P (Verify Files) or Blockwarden to identify if those sectors are in use. If so, rename those file(s) something like BAD - DO NOT DELETE. Then they will remain permanently locked and won't get used again.
