    The service tech here suggests using a bad blocks file from any disk, then
    making the disk into one large paging file and running fix-fep-file on that.
    Fix-fep-file will lock out the real bad blocks. The cost is that some good
    blocks will be marked bad, but you save keying in the list.

Not such a good idea.  Bad blocks from the manufacturer are generated
using extensive testing of the disk drive.  Fix-fep-file will not fix
bad tracks.  This is not a recomended way of finding your bad blocks.
