User said it's happened in second no falling or hit to disk,the bad sectors it's all over one head area from beginning to end,what is the logic here ?
Does those bad sectors can be recoverd with no corrupted files ?

Head 0 from two platters,I had another hitachi drive with the same symptom with this drive I took the platters out and it was seem good so I guess it's a common problem.
