You *could* go in with a disk zapper (fm or ded) and set the first character of
the bad file's name in the directory to a 0. That will lock out the file from
being accessed and lockout the sectors allocated to the file from being
reallocated. Of course, if the file contains good sectors too, it is a bit of a
waste. However, as Zack said, the best thing to do is to restore the drive. I
had problems with my original Quantum drive, but I called them and had it
replaced. In about a year of running now I have yet to get a sector error.
