All standard hard drives are composed of sectors on which data can be written and read of off. It is matter of time before one of those sectors becomes corrupted or just becomes unreadable. This usually happens to old drives or drive made by sub-standard manufacturers. This article is not really about ways to recover the data from the damaged sectors, but mainly how to bypass the dead sectors and still be able to use the hard drive.

  • i will try this thks

  • Hey excellent video, you just made me see how easy something is I couldn't grasp. It out of book so big thanks!

  • GIVE ME LINK OF HD SPEED PLZ

  • nice, i have 329 WD which has some bads and i'm starting to fix it this vid was so helpful but the uploader needs to tell us where these numbers came from i think it is not from the log file, well i will try first the LOW LEVEL FORMAT i did it before and it worked if not trying the zero format, this article will be me last topic in my fix list thnx again

  • @britsluver yeah I got a solution for this but I am not sure how... I tried changing the drive letter to M: from F: and then I did chkdsk /f from Start -> Run or was it the vice-versa. But I dont recommend it as this made my data unreadable in the process.

  • @genai98 did you ever get an answer to this???

  • Which paTrition we must select :)

    Why not just format the drive if we gonna loose the data ?

    Why not first read what remap and g-list is and then "tutorialize BS" :)

  • FANTASTIC tutorial thanx bro

  • Hey! i was passing around watched your tutorial it's kool. just what i needed.// But i guess Ur video has an error . Fourth and Fifth Column First Row. 0 - 1000 != 0 (zero minus one thousand isn't 0) i guess the answer is 0 - 1000 = -1000 so then sixth column first row = -2000

  • ...my hard drive has approx. 2,200 hours (91 days) on it and it already has 17 bad sectors.

    It came with, like, 10, due to a power supply issue when I got it.

    That number has stayed since about a week after I got it, which was approx. a year ago.

    Hard drive is a 160 GB WD1600AAJB

    No new bad sectors have occurred, but the overall capacity has dropped from 149.05 to 149.04. Almost unnoticeable.
