dear brother thanks for reply
can you guide how to remove a bad sectors using WDR ?

[arztt]

First do a full Low Level Format with some Windows / DOS tool.

If it still has bad sectors, use WDR:
1.) Logical Scan.
2.) When Logical Scan is finished, do Merge G to P.
3.) Clear SMART
4.) Low level format with some Windows / DOS tool.

Finished.

If still bad sectors, better throw HDD away.
