Killdisk Review
it seems to be very hard to be fixed as I have tried using Windows Disk Check "CHKDSK Command & "Check Now" button under "Error checking" fdisk section under "Tools" Tab, Tune Up Disk Doctor, and Total Format (Not "Quick Format"). Steps I have taken with Windows Disk Check : Step 1 : Right Click "Propreties" => "Tools" Tab => "Error-Checking" section => "Check Now" button. Step 2 : Checked http://www.killdisk.com/notes1.htm both the boxes (i.e. "Automatically fix file system errors" & "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors") Step 3 : Started scan & it went on for a long while finised without giving a report. _________________________ Steps I have taken with Tune Up Disk Doctor : Step 1 : Started "Tune Up Disk Doctor" => selected the drive. Step 2 : Selected "Thorough analysis" and started the scan. Step 3 : Clicked "Finish" button after it turned out to say "No Errors were found". _________________________ https://forums.techguy.org/threads/error-in-part-of-a-sector-of-a-hard-disk-drive.919756/ Steps I have taken with Windows Format : Step 1 : Right clicked the volume or the partition through "My Computer" and clicked "Format". Step 2 : Kept the "Quick Format" check box unchecked & pressed "Start" button. And it ended up with some error. _________________________ Thanking TSGF and those who are willing to Help me, haneef95, Apr 28, 2010 #1 Sponsor Jack Hackett Joined: Nov 19, 2006 Messages: 1,938 You dont say what the error is ...

It is a Western Digital (WD2500B EVS) 250.0 GB. It came with my laptop's manufacturer "Dell" (Inspiron 1525). Here is what happened. My laptop was working fine and one day it did not load into Windows Vista and it stayed on the following boot screen, but it showed it was loading for a long time (never ending). Normally this screen does not stay for more than 2 minutes. But this time it was never ending (tried leaving this screen for about 1 hour). So, I used Dell utility partition from the boot menu & it gave me some error code. So, I googled the

a friend of mine gave me his HP laptop in order for me to fix it. It used to run on Vista but now runs on Ubuntu (thank God!). Once I booted the system a message appeared saying that the disk has many bad sectors. 61411542 to be exact. This is bad. Do you know if it is possible to save the HDD? Through BIOS maybe? Nitrozzy7January 24th, 2011, 07:50 AMDo you know if it's possible to save the disk? Nitrozzy7January 24th, 2011, 12:09 PMIs it possible to save the disk? ronnielsen1January 24th, 2011, 12:14 PMA bad sector is a sector (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector) on a computer's disk drive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_drive) or flash memory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory) that cannot be used due to permanent damage (or an OS inability to successfully access it), such as physical damage to the disk surface or failed flash memory transistors. He needs another hard drive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_sector coffeecatJanuary 24th, 2011, 01:18 PMOnce I booted the system a message appeared saying that the disk has many bad sectors. 61411542 to be exact. If the sectors are 512 bytes ones - which they probably are - then 61411542 sectors is equivalent to 31.4 GB (as the manufacturer measures it) or 29.2 GiB! :-s. That's about 30GB of the hard drive that has gone bad. How large is the HD? I agree with ronnielsen1. Nitrozzy7January 25th, 2011, 12:28 AMIt's 160Gb so, that leaves us with 130Gb... Could this be linked to a bad power suply? Cause I know it has one and wikipedia makes me think it can be linked. And is there a way to isolate the faulty sector? coffeecatJanuary 25th, 2011, 12:13 PMAnd is there a way to isolate the faulty sector? Sectors! :wink: The hard drive firmware has probably done that for you already. However, with about a fifth of that hard drive gone bad already, now is the time to replace it. Preferably before you lose data. It is highly likely to get worse. You could, of course, use Disk Utility in Ubuntu to run SMART self-tests. That is, if you like watching horror movies. Nitrozzy7January 25th, 2011, 04:59 PMI've done Extended self-test but it came to a stall; I let it through all night but still it didn't finish. I canceled it. What will Smart test do anyway and how? And can a bad power supply cause (in any way
