His britech I have a bare bones basic bios On my Compaq cq60 I had windows 7 32 bit running It was a 250 gig hard disk with 2 partitions Since it was a fresh install my c drive was full so I decided to use easeus recovery to extend the partition It was going well and after shrinking my second partition to extend my c drive it Showed the usual progress bar Then it rebooted a few times and showed no os installed I thought it probably bricked my os so o decided to get my win7 installer again and it got stuck in the windows logo Then I had a win10 1709 usb which didn't get stuck in the logo and showed the entire drive as unallocated And it wouldn't let me format or fox teh hard drive bcs it kept giving me I/0 error redundancy cyclic something I got a live Linux OS running on a usb and Linux helped me recover some of my data But Linux couldn't format the drive So I decided to use the hard disk test from the bios and that failed immediately Any help would be appreciated (I'm currently running Linux on a 32 gig memory card and it is extremely slow I was hoping if I can get some help)

*I wish you had tried this on an old drive so we could see HDAT2 in action.*

[@justrosy5]

Who else is here only AFTER permanently losing precious data files already written to bad clusters before finding out that you have to run a CHKDSK as soon as you pop in brand new storage media???

[@michaelredd4051]

Very helpful. Always wondered how to fix bad sectors. New drives are so cheap now, however. For me would be much cheaper and easier just to replace. I really appreciate your videos. Your insights are invaluable. Thanks, Brian.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Bad sectors, the beginning of the end of a hd, had a few bootlisting errors ( double dir and program names) a few times and that was game over very soon.

[@Bonsaverh]

Thanks for the video Brian...miss the Teamspeak days! :)

[@Britec09]

Got new discord which I am releasing for you guys.

[@gtaplayboi6]

@@Britec09brian i have a ps4 that cannot check system storage. Im assuming its a bad hdd and needs replacing. The problem is i have 100’s of saved videos on that drive from game play on fifa or gta that i cannot afford to lose. If i connect it to my laptop can i recover that data before doing a factory reset on my ps4. What programme is free that i can use for this?

[@fernandozornosa6398]

There are logical errors or phisical damaged errors on HDD Surface, we can fix logical errors with chkdsk f/r or use diferent programs, for keep our data & fix it (HDD regenerator, spinrite) for me is use a low level format (Samsung hutil,wd dlife,victoria,vivard) and if the issue can't solve is replace hdd, thanks britec for this tutorial

[@detmer87]

In my book a bad sector is a HDD that's starting it's journey to the graveyard. So therefore I would recommend replacing instead. Consumer grade HDD's are utterly unreliable anyway in comparison to SSD's. When you really need big storage, always use one as backup and replace them within 3(-5) years.

[@Britec09]

Yeah

[@Foxtrotwolf]

The hell with that... I like to live on the edge... That why my main hard drive its 15 years old... still function like new XD

[@jcfb1470]

That's bad luck then. I have 3 1TB hdds with 10 years with over 60000 hours of use all working good, I have a 160GB IDE HDD working good too, I then have 2 laptop HDDs with some bad sectors also working good for 5+ years. In my main PC I have 3 HDDs, two with 2~ years and one with 10 years. all of these are working good, so for me consumer HDDs ARE reliable

[@ohhhboyyy7625]

I have a 500gb hdd which is only 8 months old, now it's getting bad sectors

[@ronagaming01]

Thankyou for this video.I finally fixed my Hard diak and i knew a lot of things about manage hard disk👍🔥

[@Ali1490]

Thanks you Dear. Very Helpful. you save my 2TB Hitachi H.D.D

[@DICEMAN60]

What is the difference from using this to running ChkDsk /F ? They both mark the bad sectors so what is the big difference?

[@Britec09]

ChkDsk /F can't always deal with bad sectors

[@freak37]

I believe this is a good program. I almost had a problem with an external Hard drive, I could not do anything. So I tried HDD Regenerator and I managed to revive the 1 TB External HDD that was unusable. The program found a 10944 bad sector and isolated them, for now I'm using it again, we will see how long ...

[@afdzalidris1438]

hello. may i know if you still experiencing the problem again after more than 7 months of your comment? as i also got problem now, need to check whether it is still okay or still got issue

[@muhammadsahid1901]

Please tell me , it work.

[@creep22]

I'm also having this issue , can you please tell if that worked or not

[@ahmedazeem7687]

Very informative, good explanations and easy to understand, camera focusing can be improved. thank you sooo much

[@tomypower4898]

Ahmed Azeem Yes recommendade keep using a hdd

[@almedogjurgji]

Do you suggest to use only the verify option at first, or we can immediately choose verify/repair bad sectors?

[@originalsun5206]

Is this any different than Hard Disk Sentinel surface test? If it is the same then my god how convenient HDSentinel is compared to whatever this is.

[@markmiller2361]

I noticed that the software (at around 7:30) has a disable password option. Will this disable any hard drive password or only one that has been set by the software?

[@SoulSeekingSon]

Good stuff bro Heem but it seems to me like this tutorial should’ve been called “ how to detect bad sectors” Because you didn’t show how to repair them. Just a heads up... I’ll keep looking... I like all the rest of your videos though so thanks for doing those.

[@bestsuperdeals]

No recomendable keep using a hdd with bad sectors for saving important stuff.

[@gouthamanguna7007]

Will it work if my hard drive have device io error.when I try to format normally it states "the request cannot be processed due to device io error".I tried all normal format,disk Mgmt,diskpart.nothing works.will Rufus accept this?

[@Thrakus]

If you can not format your drive use HDD Low Level Format Tool 4.40 , So far only tool that i had luck with on dead drives.

[@WhiteArmour]

This was very handy! Thank you for doing such videos!

[@bison345]

I enjoyed this video Brian, but I don't think I'd be to scared to use it. lol Thanks Don.

[@ampukumarnirala]

will it erase the data stored on the drive

[@thron1835]

Hi Brain after i enter dir everything comes up as usual,but when i type hdat2 says Bad command or file name.I cannot get any further what can i do ?

Nice Video Mr. B. Thanks

[@Britec09]

You're welcome

[@FERNANDO_FLORES]

is software reminds me, the old but very powerful and miraculous DiskManager for Ms-Dos of Ontrack, until it seems the new vercion, I will try it and it will be just as good as the old DiskManager, although an HDD with damaged physical sectors is very difficult to repair, I have only managed with the old DiskManager, to have such is with this software, but especially this type of software is not for novices in the field

[@AGCbloglines]

Hi Britec is this possible that all important data will be erase once it will run to repair the bad sector?

[@nilsfrahm1323]

You can scan surface from windows, just make sure the drive is not the system drive, install a free partitiining program as most have surface scan.

[@darkyassin]

What is actually a bad sector?? And why it can't be repaired? Is it a hardware issue or a software issue? I can't understand it. Is it like a transistor that got broken? I don't get it

[@_tanzil_]

Will it erase the entire disk to fix?

Hello there → Will this format the Hard Drive?

[@klaustrophobe1052]

I suspect this is a Seagate/Samsung Momentus drive. They're known to develop bad sectors early on. Personally, I avoid them like the plague.

u cannot repair bad sector. bad sector can be only "replaced" by spare sector. that why u have check in SMART -relocated sector rate
