Hellow friends ..

I have SAMSUNG HM160HC Hdd in my laptop
So it has many bad sectors ...
Image :


The cause of that bad sectors were external magnetic filed So they are not real bad sectors frimware marked them as bed because hdd were not able to read them during high external magnetic fild...

Can I Anyway clear my G-List .. ? Because That bad sectors marked as bad are not bad ones

Thank you ...

First off how do you know these were added to your glist on this? Do you have the tools to read rhe SA of your HDD and determine how many defects are in your glist? I know this one is no why because if you had the tools to do this one and see how many defects were in your glist then you surely would understand that you can clear them using the tools to read them with. If you do clear a glist there is procedures to follow in this one just clearing it becasue you think it needs to be cleared is not the right practice on this one. If anyone and everyone who did not have the proper tools to use in reading and repairing HDD was able to get to the SA and read the plist, glist on their drives this could pose a problems. People here would go around altering and changing the plist and glists on the HDD and this can cause data loss. That is why it is impossible for you to have access to this area of your hard drive to clear the defects lists. No unless you buy the tools needed to work in the SA you can not do this one manually sorry.

Unless the drive was put under a big magnet it sounds very odd. It would have damaged MC too so the drive would have been more seriously damaged. And these drives have very different defect management - even the terms p- and g- list are inappropriate.

Ok thanks for your advice ....

It seems that it is impostible repare that problem ... without special tools : (

thanks ...

If you really want to do something at your reach to RE-USE IT, try zerofilling the drive - WARNING : you'll loose EVERYTHING ON IT.
