Encoding private data in DNG format can lead to problems. The Jaz
Drives removeable disks had a secret partition on the disks that allocated
the disk to always have 1 gig of good sectors hiding the bad
sectors and allocating some good extra sector to take their place. Problem was
if you used the removeable disk as a hard drive and copied under the
current windows operating system or mac system the copying process got
confused and put down partial or extra partitions. Then when one put the broken
disk in the drive the drive would keep spining as it could read the data
correctly. Finally the drive would break. I broke four drives like this. I still
have two broken drive, one in my old Windows 95 computer and one external one
from my Windows 98 computer and I got 10 1gig that I can erase the data off.
Since I keep my pictures backup on three sets of hard drives that I copied on a
regular basis I be very wary of private data that is encoded in the files that I
couldn't access.
