Unfortunately the default drive format is a Linux flavor, according to
the manual. It never specifies what flavor. I'm not a Linux guy, so I

I'm going to guess that it's using the ext2 or ext3 file system. Assuming this is true, it would probably be worth getting a copy of Spinrite from GRC.COM to see if it can recover the failed sectors. Spinrite is aware of ext type file systems.
