This can comeįrom physical damage, or weakened magnetics. The result is the head can't read the sector very well. Bad sectors can come from a variety of reasons.

Justīecause some things started in 1985 or earlier doesn't mean it can't be You back up as much as you can each time an keep doing it You getĪbout a half hour or a little longer when you put it back in theĬomputer. Putting a disk in the freezer is an old trick that STILL works. Mode it refuses to give up on a bad sector until it recovers the data Problem is it can take days when put into the in depth mode. The current program is greatly improvedįrom the original and now is a very good data recovery tool. Threw DOS and applications back on and then your backed up data. Then you backed up the data, low level formatted, fdisked, formatted, Those old drives would need toīe low lever formated once in a while. Version 1 was the only tool that could do a low level format on those Into good sectors while recovering the data. That rolls back the weakened magnetics on the disk. The O/S and deals with the disk directly. I suggest that you look at the site about the program. To get condinsation inside or on some of the minor circuitry on the outside. I don't think I would put my HD in a freezer though even as a last resort.Įven though a harddrive is static sealed on the inside, I would hate for you Stable system seeing how its ran completly off your memory.

You should just go out and buy a new harddrive.Īs for you data that you would like to recover I would suggest booting intoĭOS and doing a copy or xcopy command to move your files from one harddrive Work for you? By all means I think its worth a try, but some will argue that Numerous scans and formating I ended up /w the same unstability. In the past when ever I had a harddrive /w bad sectors it made theĮntire system unstable and would constantly lock up.

I can't remember the command off the top of my head Using programs like Norton Disk Doctor, or even ScanDisk should beĪble to mark them. However, there is a way to locate and mark those sectors so that they are Like a scratch in a cd and is physically damaged sector on the harddrive.
