I formatted that bad drive

I'm speaking about that bad drive (partition) that caused me to lose a
lot of data and could not be repaired. I finally re-downloaded as much
of the data as I could after saving what was salvagable from the drive.
I have now recreated the original drive, minus around 15 or 20 files
that can not be replaced. Since I no longer needed to read that
partition, and it contained a few folders that would not allow me to
delete them, I decided to format it, before I toss it in the garbage.

I did a FULL format on it, and it formatted just fine, said there were
no errors or bad segments. I ran Scandisk on it (win98), and that too
said "no problems". (I only used the quick scandisk, not the one that
takes around 12 hours).

After all that trouble, I cant believe this drive checks out good. But I
wont trust it, so I am going to just trash it. But I did want to see
what a Format would do to it anyhow. I never expected it to work, in
fact I was waiting for the format to fail mid stream.....
