The mbadblocks
command is used to scan an MS-DOS floppy and mark
its unused bad blocks as bad. It uses the following syntax:
Mbadblocks
scans an MS-DOS floppy for bad blocks. All unused bad
blocks are marked as such in the FAT. This is intended to be used right
after mformat
. It is not intended to salvage bad disks.
Mbadblocks
should (but doesn't yet :-( ) also try to salvage bad
blocks which are in use by reading them repeatedly, and then mark them
bad.
