so my 7 year OLD Seagate 320gb HDD finaly gave way this week by causing multiple BSODs and AppHangB1 errors including a number of Lockups where the mouse still moves but nothing else does until the HDD resumes activity when it just suddenly stops reading
luckily my cousin gave me his Spare Samsung 500GB HDD kesa gumastos pa ako ng P1500 to P2500 on a new HDD, sabi nya in a few months pag nagassemble sya papatulong sya sakin yun na lang daw kapalit nung HDD
the Seagate still runs naka Storage mode na sya now nakakabit sa PC but when it was in OS mode sobra misrable and for the past year or so lumalabas na talaga sa bootup ang Bad Sector warning so alam ko eventually mamamatay na to BUT i can still use it as as spare HDD if i can fix it
so anyone got any ideas HOW TO REPAIR BAD Sectors and what Software to use?ito yun SAMSUNG HDD na abuloy sakin and i slapped on a Vantac HDD cooler ive had for years and found at my aunt's house
