cutting off the beginning of a hhdrive?

January 15th, 2010, 17:38

Is there some way to cut off the beginning of a hard drive surface?

Most of softwares can only cut off the end of a hard drive.

My hard disk has bad sectors at beginning. I have repaired these sectors, perforemed low level format, etc but after some days , it crashes again xp.

I thinks the only solution would be " to cut off the beginning of a hard drive" , approximately 4gb

Thanks in advance

Just get the data off if you can, and replace the drive

For cutting in the beginning you need special tools and deep knowledge of SA , You can leave the area making partition in such a way .
