| HDDs have spare tracks that are used if bad ones are found. The locations
of the bad/spare tracks is kept on the drive. One possibility is that PS is
using one of the unallocated spare tracks. It may also be using an
otherwise inaccessible track. If that's the case, no amount of
re-partitioning and re-formatting is going to make a difference. You'll
have to write a low-level disk access program that reads the tracks on the
disk.
