If you self-scanned your drive and get a message "Unable To Load Overlay" than you either not writing it the right way or your drive may have other (head?) problems. Whichever is your case, shifting tracks will not help. As regards your question, the only way I know to relocate system area is to self-scan your drive from N2,,22 (what you might have already done) after you backuped the drive's firmware.
