i have this 20 MB IDE drive in my new tandy 1000tx, with 39 bad spots found with a program called HARDPREP. i go to mark them bad, as i thought this should make the drive ignore them. it doesn't make a difference. FDISK still wants to use all the cylinders. am i doing something wrong, or does marking them bad not do what i thought it does?
