You can't reset the SMART stats on seagate drives. If the OP thinks resetting the SMART will magically make bad sectors become good, he is wrong. There are 2 lists: P and g lists. The P list is the primary list for sector found bad at time of manufacture. The g list are those sectors that became bad later and got remapped. The P list cannot be changed. Resetting SMART would reset to zero the remapped count in the g list (of sectors found bad after manufacture). Wiping the data doesn't restore bad sectors. Just means they will have to get remapped again with possible data loss until that happens. Wonder if the OP is trying to resell his old hard disk on eBay while faking the count of remapped bad sectors (reallocated sector count) to make it look much better than it is. It won't do him any good since bad stays bad. It's like when car roll back the odometer. Seagates are the ones where SMART can be reset using a UART (e.g., Kootek PL2303 USB to Serial TTL UART Module Converter Adapter). Other brands require gear costing $2K. The OP already mentioned eBay. Probably is where he intends to dump his crap disk. Makes no mention why he wants to reset SMART data. Now he'll probably come up with a story. |

HDSentinel was blinking red and said the drive had a few days left. So I reset the data in HDSentinel (NOT the actual SMART, obviously), and it's been green and 100% for 3 months. Let's see if it was a corrupt SMART or a bad disk. Not using it for anything important, just in case. If it deteriorates, I'll post.
