    Hello my wonderful Atari BBS message forum peeps. I am going through a few
    no label or blank label disks and seeing what is on them and keeping or formatting. I have one disk with 91 bad sectors (ouch) I did do a virus
    removal just incase but am wondering if there is a way to save this poor disk or is it destined for the bin?
