The rest 4 bytes contain defect position came from index and measured by Byte. If the value is FFFFFFFFh in the

first 4 bytes, we consider the whole disk to be damaged. Because drives support different sector length, only

index format can be used for defect list format (that is PList) by HDD vendors.

FFFFFFFFh is often considered as -1, it corresponds to the interpretation of signed int. Although -1 is easier than

FFFFFFFFh in pronunciation, the number digit is not clear.
