How can I repair bad sectors using mhdd?

Hi,everybody. I'm a newer to mhdd. Now I want to use mhdd4.0 to repaire a Seagate 40GB harddisk which contains bad sectors. Who can tell me the procedure step by step? Thanks a lot.

1. Erase
2. Scan+erasewaits
3. Scan+Remap.

Dmitry:

Is persistent remap done here? One that permanently hides the bad sectors even if partitioned and formatted many times?

I can't understand the question.

I was asking that question because I have once used ERASE WAITS but when I repartitioned and reformatted the HDD, the WAITS reappeared.

That depends on many things :-)

, maybe you have broken HDD or power supply is "not good".

Thank you for your answer, Master Dmitry.

But I used PC3K to diagnose the firmware zone, controller, etc. Everything's fine. So there are no maybe's for this drive.

There are many other very interesting things in the drive like platters, motor, heads...
