Repair HDs with damaged sectors?
I have a pair of xboxen here with bad sectors on their HDDs. Is there any way to mask this with fatx as bad so that they don't get used, or a fsck program for fatx?

bad sectors can typically be fixed by low leveling the drive (zeroing the drive)
do this:
backup your data
pull the hard drive
put it in a pc
downoad Ultimate Boot CD from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
use a disk whiping software to zero the drive
you can then use a program to test the drive found on the same disk, if it passes slap it back in the xbox, format and put your data back
atleast that is what i would do heh
