PLS Help to ged rid of bad sectors
Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2007 3:11 pm
Hi all,
Unfortunately I dropped my hdd and appeared some bad sectors on it. When you run scandisk in "through mode" it finds the unreadable sectors and marks them as bad. But what about the hardly readable sectors? It takes several seconds to read them, and however it's readable, it really slows down its performance.
So I'd need a program what also marks these slowly readable sectors as bad, and gain back the hdd's ~original performance. Now can;t use that hdd :/
Please, can anyone help me?
Google is our friend. I tried there too, but i don't know exactly what keywords i should search with... I only can find some crap software for $60 what is on the level of w*ndow's scandisk :/
