How to repair hard disk hiding bad sectors Tips and Tricks by innovative ideas || innovative ideas

[@DeepRoy1992]

Thank you! Thank you very much good Sir and KZbin for directing me to your video! With the help of your method I saved my expensive SSD which shockingly had bad sectors in the first 3 blocks. I am very grateful to you :)

[@mellonhead9568]

i think this is the best solution by far..... after all u cant really fix bad sectors a hard will just be failing till its unusable

[@nuwanthadeshapriya99]

Thank you so much. I had 320gb laptop harddisk. Un usable. But using this method I could recover over 150gb and now it's using as external drive. Quick scan not worked for me. Without quick scan I could exactly identify bad sectors and avoid them. Thank you so much for the video and the knowledge.

[@morzh1978]

1:37 - NEVER rely on Error scan with "Quick scan" tick on! Each single bad block detectable in "Quick scan" mode could be easily accompanied by a few undetectable ones, worst of all - be located in different parts of the drive. This is a significant flaw in your manual which could easily turn out to be fatal (meaning that plenty of bad blocks could be still there, within "normal" partitions you are about to create).

[@LuckyYeti]

Hello brother, I did a full (non-quick as you said) "error map" (not speed map) scan with hd tune pro v6 and in the first 524GB blocks of my 2TB HDD was less than 75 damaged blocks (to tell you exactly how much it was 4.4% damaged blocks according to HD Tune Pro's test results) is there any good application to find bad sectors and create partitions with good sectors and unallocate bad sector partitions automatically???

[@morzh1978]

@@LuckyYeti Try this (after backing up all salvageable data): "Repartition Bad Drive is a program designed to quarantine infected parts of your hard drive and recover the rest of the drive and continue using it as an external hard drive to save information." It generally excludes bad blocks from being included into newly created partitions. The trouble is - bad block would only spread farther over time, so better use such damaged drive for temorary disposable cashe data only (like video and audio you download to watch and listen to only / fewfold, then discard) - so that more valuable storage drive is thus saved from excessive wear and tear.

[@LuckyYeti]

@@morzh1978 the name of app is "Reparation Bad Drive" ?

[@LuckyYeti]

@@morzh1978 I don't know why but my hdd is now OK, I uninstall some games and move my important data to other hdd... before doing this free space was 512 GB and the tik tok sound was exist but free space now is more than 543GB and there is no tik tok or clicking or knocking sound😐 but why?

[@ademircarlos2377]

This solution was perfect to solve my problem with my HD seagate ST200DX001-1NS164. Thank you!

[@mattdathew2794]

Thankyou man, this is very great

[@morzh1978]

1:37 - I have run two Seagate HDD (Seagate and Momentus) with "Quick scan" option ticked on and off and guess what? No bad blocks with "Quick scan" on were ever detected, only full scan displayed them. Symptoms: you can write to such hidden bad blocks, can partially read, delete but UNABLE to copy files from them. Drives were phisically damaged by impact shockwave whilst powered up (one in laptop and another fell off the table in ext. enclosure)

[@IreshDissanayakaM]

I would like to say this is a clever approach.

[@anthonysmith5979]

I used Crystal disk and found 2 HDD's with reallocated sectors, I just bought new HDD's as the original ones were over ten years old and at end of life. I put them under a 20 ton press and crushed them before binning them

[@parkertechsavvy]

That's brilliant.

[@PaPaDoodz]

now i learn this clearly because of you. thank you sir.

[@timezonewall]

While this technique will certainly avoid the known bad sectors, having that many bad sectors is usually a sign of a failing drive with many more bad sectors to follow. The first choice would be to send the drive in for replacement if it is under warranty. If not, before going through this effort, it would be best to use other tools to determine how many marginal sectors there are, where they are, and rather the drive should be retired. Marginal sectors are ones that are still technically "good", but are slower than normal. There are various tools for this, two I've used are HDDScan and Victoria. These can scan the entire disk and will identify how many sectors of the drive are "slow" to access, how slow they are, and where they are. Most simple drive scanners only produce a "Good/Bad" result which isn't sufficient to know get the full picture of the overall health. A couple of bad sectors that are not increasing in number would be better handled through remapping them to the spare area by re-writing the entire drive, looking at the s.m.a.r.t. data before and after to see what ended up happening. If during the process no additional bad sectors were identified, then go ahead and use it (for non critical data), otherwise time to replace. In any case, any drive with that many bad sectors, rather remapped or handled by isolation as shown in the video, has a much higher likelihood of failure. If it is under warranty, just send it in for replacement, otherwise use if only for non-critical data that you can lose or have backed up somewhere else.

[@subhashischowdhury6171]

Tell me one thing... How to be sure the isolated partitions only contains the bad sectors? Does isolation that's shown in the video work?

[@timezonewall]

@@subhashischowdhury6171 You have to figure out where all the bad sectors are using a scanning tool then isolate them. The method in the video will find some (maybe all) of them, but there are better tools. Regardless, when bad sectors start showing up, they often multiply within a few weeks or months leading to HDD death. So the method shown should be thought of as a temporary fix (and may not be worth the effort). If one is seeing bad sectors starting, the best course of action is to replace the drive. It can start slow then snowball, you'll see one bad sector, then a couple weeks later you see another, then in a couple more weeks, 2 or 3 more, the following week you get 10 more, etc. Bad sectors are a canary in the coal mine for HDDs.

[@subhashischowdhury6171]

@@timezonewall yes I did isolate some of the bad sectors, although it didn't create new ones, it didn't improve the performance either. Some software showed Heath at 9%. Usage 58TB, 948 days active hours, 8850 reallocated sectors. Half of the HDD mapping shows green and rest of it yellow means slow i guess. With a Caution sign asking me to back up data immediately. 😅 I guess I should prepare for the funeral ...

Great video but easier to select 'Do not assign a drive letter or drive path' for the bad volume after selecting the volume size , then you won't see the volume when finished and don't need the extra step. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@aseanbusinezzaffairs3397]

Hi Genius.............interesting information.. Tanx so far... .. how get asset to my External disk, which shows serious amount of bad sectors...

[@rasedul_islam_rashed]

Great solution!!!!!!!!!

[@Obishman]

Thanks for the video it was very clear. Did you check/comfirm with the hdd tune software if the two new patrtitions were free of errors?.

[@innovativeideas]

Yes it was.

[@fdimichele]

Most hard drives simply mark blocks as bad during low level format and you can use the whole disk again. What am I missing here? You are doing the job of the low level format...which they do at the factory before you get your drive. I suppose if you had data on mostly open drive that you wanted to save then move that data to front of drive and resize it then format the rest is next best solution.

[@alruedrichenopia210]

thank you so much

[@deep9337]

Very nice sir

[@qcrecap]

Thanks my friend.

[@sarabjitsidhu6928]

No need to calculate by column and rows the hdd tune pro stores location of bad sectors in bottom when the scanning is on and you have option to save also.But you have to uncheck quick scan option.

[@bullzeyeism]

Smart, Thanks.

[@sudhakarpadhye6908]

I think hard disk data is written randomly. So this method is just for mind satisfying.

[@n8spL8]

placebo is the word, but, no, HDDs write sequentially and randomly. Bad sectors are a real thing that can be fixed/bypasses.

[@muhammadmurad2999]

very knowledgeable video Thnks

[@sohailkhan-ni4om]

No

[@morzh1978]

1:37 - "hd tune its show that hard is ok.But hd sentinel show 64 bad sector" - this is why perhaps. I also do not use "Repartition Bad Drive" tool because it "uses fast bad blocks detection algorithm. This algorithm makes scanning of bad area even much faster than scanning of good area" - so I turned to "Partition Bad Disk" by Goodlucksoft instead: it works at slow speed.

[@LuckyYeti]

Nice man... that was what i want. But is there any app to do all scanning and partitioning automatically by its self??? I mean Because your video was from 7 years ago and we are in 2024

[@sylvainjouanno]

Great video, very elegant and smart way to go about it. Thanks.

[@熊嶋菜菜子]

thank you for sharing

[@catdogcord]

Nice tool if all you want do is hide the bad sectors.It does nothing to repair nor fix them. Your PC doesn't use those any more any way so why waste the usable space?I have 3 bad sectors out of 8 that were not repaired by doing a simple chkdsk /f C: on my drive. Or just by using properties and scanning the C:/ HDD.It repaired 5 of the bad sectors! But thank you for the extra knowledge!!!

[@innovativeideas]

Sir, Nice to hear from you and thanks for appreciation. The procedure explained in this video works if chkdsk or drive properties scanning procedure do not work. Thanks..

[@songsan807]

Good video and tip. If the drive have so many bad sectors already, so if you hide the bad sectors wouldn't new bad sectors pop up? Is it worth to save your data to the partitions and not better to just get a new hard drive?

[@asmtanvirhasan4767]

can we marge both of the usable partition in a single one?

[@amira199]

Is it possible to merge these two Partitions. Does the Bad sector partition affect it?

[@fdimichele]

You can make freedos bootable usb thumb drive and throw a bunch of freeware dos exe files that scan hard drives to see which is best. HDAT2 is the most current dos program that you can download and works with some GPT formatted drives with AHCI. You could also convert GPT (AHCI) drive back to MBR using other free software like Mini Partition Wizard or Aomei Partition Wizard.

[@fdimichele]

Victoria 5.28 free software is in Russian but you can still download and use for other languages. This is the best free software that still runs in Windows. Other software like spinrite will only run in DOS which only supports MBR partitions up to 2 TB so you couldn't scan large data drives with movies, torrents, games, etc.

My hard disk has a bad sector, I made it as a external hard disk, now I can do this process on the external drive disk so that I can save any files skipping the bad section.

[@Andearoid]

this tips doesn't hide bad sectors in the internal SMART counter of your hard drive. any SMART monitor program like HDD Sentinel can give you the real health of the hard drive like running time, bad sectors, number of read/write errors, seeks access or the max working temperature recorded during the HDD lifetime. your tips just reallocate damaged cluster to the free space area to preserve its read/write speed performances. this errors means you have to backup datas from your HDD because its health is decreasing. but you can use it anymore as casual disk space. just remember your hard drive is dying now and you can loss the content at any time.

[@batvanio]

This is complete bullshit. You have exactly 18 blocks of 61Mb that are bad. That's just over 1GB. You can not remove bad sectors this way, and you need to have a full scan to avoid missing. What if they are in a large range? For 5-6 damaged blocks, you will lose, for example, 500GB usable sectors? Or will you break the disk into dozens of titles? To eliminate need to format the low level. It is, for example, necessary to mark the track with damaged sectors as being larger than the real one, and some other runway preferably the most extreme being marked as the same number as the one with the fault. Or the disk is formatted, but at Dos and FAT32 to mark the damaged ones. Windows formatted the discs quickly and jumped over the defective parts. A real check for failures and their removal does not happen for a minute, as is the case with Windows. This operation is especially long for large disks.

Not much, you can try 3rd party tools to keep attempting to read the bad areas and remap them, but that often will just create more bad sectors and damage. If the data is important, you need to send it to a data recovery service (at a high cost) asap. This video is rather misleading in that it does discuss the fact that if one is seeing bad sectors, the drive is failing and needs to be replaced. What is described is only going to be a temporary fix in most cases.
