I have cleared down G and P lists, recreated translation table etc (in all combinations)

The first 66,000 (approx) sectors read correctly. Almost all of the rest are filled with 0xFF.
This could be representative of a further problem. Is 0xFF the real value of these sectors, or simply the value returned in case of unreadable sectors? What do you use to view them?
What software/hardware you used to clear defect lists and rebuild translator?
