If your data is important to you, at all, you had better get a good sector-by-sector clone of the drive. It is likely that other sectors are bad and possible that the bad sector may be a sign of a bigger problem. No matter what the cause of the bad sector, you need to address the issue as if the next time you power the drive on will be the last. The best choice would be to seek professional help.

If the data is not important to you, you'll still need to connect the drive as a slave to another system and run a data recovery program against it. If you get lucky, you'll be able to recover your data. If you run into issues, you'll likely render the drive completely unrecoverable or make things worse, causing the cost of the data recovery service to go up. So, only go this route if professional data recovery is out of the question.

Does your drive identify itself with its correct model number and full capacity?

Is it password protected? You can confirm your drive's security status with HDAT2:

No SECTOR 0 is damaged. It is not password protected, it is not opening in windows explorer. He wants an idea how to remap this sector so the HDD is not using it again and he can save his drive. If this is damaged and now then it is telling you something, For less than 50 dollars you can purchase a new HDD. I would not trust this one again for my data on it. If you do not care for the data then dump this one and buy a new one and go on. If you want the data clone it backwards and use a recovery program to find your data on it. Then dump it and get a new drive. You can try MHDD here and see if it can help you out some on this one by scanning and ermapping bad sectors and trying to zero fill this drive. But like I said I would get a new one as cheap as they are now.

Did you actually try reading other sectors with a disc editor?
