i think u have a DELL system if yes then the problem is with your G-LIST
module that can only be repaired by pc3000 or hdd repair 1.1 .
this is not a problem of SMART.

pepe is right but there can be many problems not just that the drive fails due to module curroption or errors on the firmware area of the drive
but u need a powerfull software such as pc3k for its repair .

Hi Rameez And Pepe
Yes You Need Powerrful Hardware Like Pc-3000 For Its Repair But I Doubt On PEPE's Observation .I Cannot Be a Head Defect It Definately Is To Do With Some Firmware Issue or Some List Like The SA List Etc As I Can Successfully Read The Hard Disc Till Some Sectors Without the BIOS Detecting It ,I Do Not Get The Knocking Sound Etc

Hi,

OK,
there are some drives that read a whole surface before changing to the next head. As such, this can be a H3 defect.
I think we cannot be that wise to decide the real problem from the distance, U will have to do it yourself. We are just bringing up some ideas...
For example: Did U know that most recent Samsung drives read a whole zone before changing surface? This results in a ~3.000.000 sectors periodicity. That is should U have for example H3 defective in a 4 heaed drive, U can read ~12.000.000 sectors without problem, the next ~3.000.000 will result in UNC, AMNF or clicking depending on how serious the damage is.
So please just think about the ideas without sweeping off your desktop at first glance.
U requested help, and we are trying.

regards,
pepe

Hi Pepe,
Thanks For The Suggestions ,I Think You Are Right About The Heads Observations .But BOSS The Hard Disc Does Not Get Detected In BIOS ? .That Means The Firmware Is Also Currupted Or Some Service Area Is Currupted .I Scaned The Drive By Attaching a IDE And Power Cable After Booting the System

Hi,

I would suggest scanning in MHDD (U can easily skip bad areas) and please create a map of readable/non readable areas!

regards,
pepe
