Can't get a clean drive

[Linuxguy]

The best I can get is the listed LBA sectors -1 This bug seems to be able to hide one sector. Wipe Drive said it can't happen, I have about a dozen drives of all kinds and it is the same on all. Any ideas? Wipe drive won't return any questions.

Try NHPA mhdd & WDCLEAR write 0 to whole drive then re-format.

Hey! Lba 0 counts, so if max lba is 100, lba range is 0 to 99, including the lba 0, total=100 !!

I get the correct LBA number listed, a first. But when I erase I get 0 and one short and changes back when I add one, but when it's done it shows all were done. But scan is one short all the time.

Tried another sw ?

When I try to reset the sectors back to factory I get "device error", I've run out of ideas.
