  $56 is a "bad buffer address" error. That is not an error you should
be getting with commercial software like ProSEL - it indicates a program
bug or error. Or, more likely, something else wrong with your computer.

  No, you can simply reformat that partition with ProSel and it ought to be back
to pristine shape.  It will be blank, of course.
