****************************************************************************** Comments entered by========> Rhelm comment on the BYTES article... even the author says that you can't always recover those lost sectors....who would want to chance it in the first place? I certainly wouldn't take all that time bulk erasing or whatever methods to gain a K or two or three...if there is a higher number, maybe, but probably not. If the number is high enough, I'm gonna toss that puppy. Something you might want to consider when running articles like that one is that you may get some reader mail. Why not make a section of the magazine for Publishing some of that 'reader feedback'? Comments entered by========> Rhelm Okay.... so I suggested posting the user comments and I looked further and found you did. cool. To Rhelm, Glad to see that we were ahead of you on this one. Thanks for your comments. Michael Gray - Publisher
