Help marking bad sectors off a Hard Drive

February 21st, 2012, 18:35

Hi Guys.

I have a Ipod 160Gb HDD which has like ~120 Bad Blocks and ~50 with 10.000ms delay after being scanned with Victoria 4.3

My main issue is that i need to mark this sectors so itunes wont be able to write tracks over these damaged sectors.

Does Victoria blacklists these sectors after being marked as defective or should I use another option like remap or any other software to pinpoint which sector i want to set as unusable?

Thanks!
