hi, Spildit...

all the tutorials that I saw, teaches you how to clear the entire smart table...

my case is just a bad contact defect on the HDD PCB, which causes wrong information in the smart table, after I removed the bad contact, the increment in the table stopped happening and now I need to eliminate this number, because it is too big and system is accusing a problem in the HDD...

is it possible to clear just one information in the table and keep the other information intact?
