Can you turn ECC off for badtrk?

[Joseph Allen]

Can you turn the error correction circuits off on a hard disk (IDE and/or ESDI
specifically) while 'badtrk' is being run?  This would make the bad tracking a
bit more successful.

I know on old SASI stand alone disk controllers this was possible but I don't
know much about the software interface for PC hard drives.
