Logical Sectors Physical Sectors Pre Low-Level Format 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 7 Logical Sectors Physical Sectors Post Low-Level Format 0 -------> 0 1 -------> 1 2 -------> 2 3 (Bad) 3 -------> 4 5 (Bad) 4 -------> 6 5 -------> 7In this example, physical sectors 3 and 5 were found to be bad. The sectors were then slipped down to allow for the logical sectors to be placed in sequential order on good sectors. Sector 3 was slipped down to 4 and sector 4 was slipped down to 6. The rest of the sectors were slipped down to the remaining spare sectors: Sector 4 to 6 and sector 5 to 7.

Famous quotes containing the word example:
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
