Avoid hard disk bad sectors - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

To the original poster: 1. If you clearly know the location of bad sectors on the hard drive, you can use the method mentioned above. Of course, I suggest you use DiskGen (formerly DiskMan, download the link from Google search) for partitioning operations because it is more intuitive. When creating this small partition containing bad sectors, include several tracks before and after the bad sectors (to prevent the bad sectors from expanding). 2. If there are many scattered bad sectors on your disk, my first suggestion is to throw away this hard drive and get a new one. If you must insist on using it, you need to be prepared to lose data at any time. At this time, you can use the bad disk partitioner (FBDISK, also search for the download link on Google) to operate. Before performing the partitioning operation, I strongly suggest that you back up the important data on the hard drive to another hard drive, because re-partitioning most of the time means that all data on the hard drive cannot be retained.

Asking all experts, I currently have a hard disk with bad sectors that often causes the computer to freeze. How can I shield it? Looking forward to your reply! Thank you! It would be best if you could send the method to my e-mail: wgyuan_2002@163.com

Use PQMagic to divide a partition (including this bad sector) and hide the partition.

Try low-level formatting, use "LFORMAT"

I think large hard drives are not suitable for LFORMAT, as it is slow and easy to damage the hard drive. Bad sectors should be allocated to one partition. Small hard drives are suitable for LFORMAT.
