hi all,

friends i have a U5 20G HDD OF SEAGATE WITH FEW BAD SECTOR......

MEANS A PARTICULAR LOCTATION MHDD SHOW TIME OUT AT 0.2% IN READ VERIFY COMMAND AND AFTER IT DRIVE IS IN OK CONDITION .NO BAD SECTOR AND NO SLOW SECTORS.
IF I CHECK WITH VICTORIA WITH READ VERIFY COMMAND , SAME IT SHOW S AS MHDD.AND IF I CHECK WITH READ COMMAND BOTH(MHDD,VICTORIA) DON,T SHOW ANY PROBLEM ON WHOLE DISK.
I TRIED ERASE WAIT , REMAP ,ERASE ,FASTERASE(THOUGH SECURITY COMMAND) OF MHDD.(AFTER THESE COMMAND CONDITION IS SAME).
THEN I TRIED ALL REMAP TECHNIQES OF VICTORIA .ALL THIS FAIL.
ALL SHOWS REMAPS EVERY TIME IT CHECKED.BUT NOTHING WORKS.

THEN I USE HDDL 2.0 FOR REMAP .THE STATUS THEM SAME AS ALL SHOWS.
WHAT IS PROBLEM, CAN ANYBODY TELL?
IT IS VERY SHORT AREA OF HDD WHICH CAUSING PROBLEM ON VERIFING BUT NOT ON READING.

THANKS
