Pepe, it's not gone. I can fix it 100%, but is it worth ? It's a 10$ drive...

You want to sell a $10 HDD that you know has bad sectors (and getting more by the day)?

I hope you're selling it to an enemy... not a friend :)

It seems to be the sad truth... :(
We already came up with some ideas, but none was sympathic, we spent some time (well over what this thread is worth), and probably nobody wants spend more time on a $10 issue.

ok guys i understand that tjis thread is not worth becuase of the hard disk costs only 10 $ but it can be happened to many hdd which cost alot because of importanat data or something else.
