More about : unable read sectors device rwgwiccan 15 February 2012 23:55:02 Well the problem here seems to be the fact that you deleted the partition which for all intents and purposes basically deletes all the information on the drive. I would suggest using a data recovery tool rather than a partition recovery tool. You could try Recuva or another data recovery tool hard drive sector repair software as long as you have not rewritten any information to those drives. m 0 l Best solution inzone a c 121 G Storage 16 February 2012 00:20:20 http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk This is a free software program for data recovery so you could try this.

Data Recovery Price Match Guarantee In The News How to Fix Bad Sectors on a Hard Drive The truth of the matter is; you can't repair bad http://dtidatarecovery.com/how-to-fix-bad-sectors-on-a-hard-drive/ sectors on a hard drive. Receiving ‘Bad Read’ errors or I/O errors from a hard drive is not the type of problem that can be remedied or ignored. The following is an explanation of how hard drives are designed and how a bad sector revealing itself on your system is a slippery slope to disaster. First of all, virtually every hard drive manufactured has bad sectors on it before it leaves the factory. A utility is run on the hard drive to find all the initial bad sectors and placed in a list. Every sector in the list is then remapped and saved to an area called the ‘Permanent Defect List’ or PList. It would be far too expensive to manufacturer a hard drive that every sector was perfect. The manufacturers take that into consideration so every drive that is made has a pool of sectors that is used only if a bad sector is found. This process for pointing a bad sector to a new sector is called remapping and has been used for years. Internally the hard drive firmware will take a sector that is bad and point it to another sector. The new sector is now used in place of the old one, this process is transparent to the operating system and user. The sector is placed in a list like the one created at the factory;

Err.. State Registered: May 20, 2000Posts: 6547 Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 8:51 am So, here's the long version:I've got 3 matched 320GB Maxtor SATA drives that I'm trying to hard drive sector use on an Adaptec 3805 SAS/SATA RAID card. It throws a fit every time it tried to initialize two of the drives for some reason. I've tried different cables, different sockets on the card, and spent a day (literally, 22 hours, 40 minutes) having the Adaptec zero the drives. I then pulled the drives and threw them at Win7 to create a partition and format, no dice. I tried Acronis and Easeus and still no love. I then downloaded the Seatools and tried that. Turns out that according to Seatools, the problem is a "Sector 0 error" and it can't fix them. I know these worked at one time as the previous machine I had them in was a Dell Optiplex and they were striped on an nVidia 680i motherboard via the onboard nVRaid controller (play box) and worked without a hitch.I'm suspecting that somewhere in the creating the array on the nVidia board, something got written to the drives and I can't get it cleared or reset. Is that correct? Is there some other reason 2 drives would have the exact same failur
