tough luck, You will never know what was the original table. If you are just
developing you have to remember there is a possibility you are using a bad
block. There is no way to rebuild the bad block table. This command was
removed from the next version of the DiskOnChip utilities and will not be
available to customer in the future. You can achieve the desired results
with dformat /unformat

Docpmap /e does not look at the contents, it just brutally goes unit by unit
and deletes all. I will have to see the exact message but it could be a bad
DiskOnChip that has been traumatized somehow.
