I bought some NOS DD floppy disks a couple of years back and almost all of them have bad sectors.
I was just wondering if there is any way to... Rejuvenate them? There is no data on them, I'm just wondering if there is any software that is able to do anything like format the bad sectors repeatedly until they take the hunt or anything. 800k disks aren't cheap any more and a lot have bad sectors. It would be nice to be able to bring some back into use.
To be clear, I don't really care if they're likely to go bad again. I hardly ever use floppy disks, but it would be nice to get some use out of these ones.
