Bad Sectors in HardDisc
venu via HWKB.com u24850@uwe wrote
How to remove bad sectors in Hard Disc? Its generally better to discard the hard drive unless there are only a small number of bads. That is usually a sign of a dying drive. If you dont care about the data on the drive, the hard drive manufacturer will usually provide a ute that will force the drive to remap bad sectors. You can also use something that writes over the entire drive like http://dban.sourceforge.net/ That forces the drive to reallocate bads. Its harder if you want to keep the data, something like SpinRite will do that but it isnt free. Dont worry about Folknert, he's just a rabid nut case that's only interested in posturing, not actually answering any questions. |

Bad Sectors in HardDisc
there are two types of bad sectors - software bad sectors, and hardware bad
sectors, low level format will erase software bad sectors and make sectors usable again, hardware bad sectors should be excluded from PCHS - LBA translation (so you use only good parts of the HDD) brand new drives come with thousands of bad sectors, you dont see them, because they are excluded from translation. -- -- Alan Kakareka Data Recovery Service 786-253-8286 cell http://www.247recovery.com -- "Garrot" wrote in message news:QH5Eg.405522$IK3.203281@pd7tw1no... venu via HWKB.com wrote: Hi, How to remove bad sectors in Hard Disc? -- venu.

If anything they can be soft (temporararily) bad sectors and hard bad sectors (in need of replacement). low level format will erase soft**** bad sectors and make sectors usable again, They were already usable, just not readable. Any write to such bad sector will take care of that, doesn't need a LLF or erase or whatever the MFGRs call it. hard**** bad sectors should be excluded from PCHS - LBA translation Which they are if the drive decides to reassign the sector. Which it will do with any write to such hard bad sector. (so you use only good parts of the HDD) brand new drives come with thousands of bad sectors, you dont see them, because they are excluded from translation. Which also goes for the hundreds of thousands of spare sectors. -- Alan Kakareka [snip business spam] venu via HWKB.com wrote: Hi, How to remove bad sectors in Hard Disc? -- venu.

It really is that basic. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why you even take part in discussions on this group. Baying at the moon doesnt work as well and can get him back in the padded cell with that funky canvas jacket with the extremely long sleeves. You are most unwelcome. Dunno, the Victorians used to be allowed to visit Bedlam and poke a stick at the loonys chained to the wall etc. We get to do that from the comfort of our homes. You rarely contribute anything of value, let alone interest. Indeed. Please go and find another playground. The parents would call the cops. |
