Multi-partition redundancy.

[hutch--]

Thanks Steve,

I tracked down how to see if the disk is worth playing with, I did on each disk the slow format from the disk manager (some hours each disk) then ran CHKDSK on each disk and that way the bad sectors are recognised. 12k on one disk, 64k on the other so they are not safe to use as the bad sector count has increased. Strangely enough both started to fail at the same time and neither disk has much work done, they were used mainly to store junk where the first 2 disks do all of the work on the machine so I must have picked up a pair of 1tb disks out of a bad batch.
