Ware Hdd Bad Sector
How To Fix Bad Sector
Get yourself a linux live cd, such as ubuntu, boot it up, and check the SMART stats of the drive. You can do this on the ubuntu cd using the gnome disk utility. In particular, check the raw values for ReallocatedSectorCt, CurentPendingSector, and OfflineUncorrectable.If you have zero offline, and zero or only a few reallocated, but some pending, then you should be able to repair the drive by writing zeroes across the whole thing. You can do this with a command like the following:sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdaYou might want to run lsblk first to make sure that the drive in question is in fact, /dev/sda. It may show up as a different letter, in which case you need to use that.If that completes without errors ( it will take quite a while with no output ), then check the SMART stats again and hopefully the pending sectors are gone and you still have no offline and zero or few reallocated. If that’s the case then the drive should be good to reformat and use. It also wouldn’t hurt to run the long SMART selftest and make sure that passes.
Ware Hdd Bad Sector 1
Hello to everyone,In order to correct bad sectors I used ' WD data lifeguard diagnostics ' to write zeros to my HD (of 500 GB), it’s been taken a long time, I launch it Thursday evening and today is Sunday 20:44, it is more than three days and the software has just writed zeros to 45% of HD. Other things, ' the Elapsed Time ' it shows 02:35:00 and ' Estimated Time Remaining 'shows 102:39:41 which concerne ' current sector 411066623 of 976773167 ' (at the moment I’m writing this message). My question is: do you find that normal?
