Formatting disks with faults
Is there a disk formatting tool for 1541 which is able to detect a small faulty location and then it can lay out the sectors so that the fault ends up somewhere in a gap?
I have lots of slightly faulty disks which I don't want to throw out just because there's a small fault on one of the tracks. |

And don't validate, right? ;) |

You can validate as much as you like. That's only a problem for the BAM method. |

Haven't taken a detailed look of the resulting disk layout yet, but are you locating the error at a sector gap or at the track gap where there's usually plenty of space? |

If by track gap you mean the space after the last sector before the first sector comes again, then yes it goes into that bigger gap. |
