THANX for replying!.
Right now i have MHDD, HDDREG, MAxtor diagnostic tool, Spin rite. Where can i get programs you meant? Thanx again!

Hello again. I checked info abt tool PC-3000. It seems like it is whole complex of hardware and software. But web site don't have prices. You have to order them via mail. Does anyone have this tool???And where else i can get it? How effective this tool is? Is it worse to spend money?I have quite few HDD's with different stages off baddness.sizes from 20 Gb to 320 Gb. I don't really want to waste them....Help.. please.

Does anyone knows how this one effective?? Will it fix bad sectors and SMART FAILURE????

Hi,
I Used HDAT 2 And Found Lots of Bad Sectors In Some HDD At The End ,I Used The Function Host Protected Area And Made The Capacity Shorter By Some Gigs ,I Would Suggest You Use HDAT2 Write Function And Then Scan the HDD And Clear BAd Sectors ,I Love this Software ,Excellent Stuff

Hi Guys ,
Check That Ebay Link ,Has Someone Used This ?

I i understood you rite, this programm will work only if bad sectors at the end of the drive? If they im the middle or at the beginnig will it still work? Thanx

Hi,
Yes then It Can Mark Them ,I Like this Better than MHDD [ No Offense Meant ] .This Is what You Should Try

Use The Wipe Function [ Low Level Formats The Entire Drive ]
Then Use Function "Scan And Remove Bad Sectors "

Try It ?

Hi vlox333,
your problem with the SMART parameters is only the top of the iceberg. You must look deeper to find the reason, and then to think about the way it can be solved.
Success

Thnx a lot for trying to help me here.I downloaded HDAT2. But i can run it only in Demo mode. It don't wonna load properly.Will try to post pic with message.

. Here what it does. BIOS Detecting HD.If i reboot and use MHDD or MAXTOR's diagnostic programm, they both work. But not HDAT2. What do i do wrong? Thanx again.

Hi,
Try To Download Hiren Boot Cd Ver 8.X ,this Has HDAT And Lots of Other HDD Repairing Software ,Search Google And Yahoo for that ,I Use That Often

pc3000 is effective tool for any hdd problem even of there is a firmware issue or bad sectors or even smart problems
for smart problem clear the glist of the hdd u will get no smart problem then
for that u need pc3000
u can also do it by hdd repair 1.1 by clear glist option

Hi Rameez,
This Is Not For All Hard disc Drives BOSS,Only For WD

PC3000 did not do anything. All "it can" depends of operator knowledge.
BTW ISA will not help, up to 120GB only.

Hi!
Guys i'm greatfull for what you doing! Appreciate every try to help here. And today i found another 80 Gb HD, Wich has SMART fulll of harm data (on the start up BIOS saying its gonna kick the bucket ). But i ran Bad sectors Check twice- no bad sectors whatsoever. So if i can clear records from SMART- this drive will be like new!.
Does anyone know where i can get working HDD repair 1.1? I googled it,it gives me nothing.
