MHDD makebad, I did something very stupid

April 17th, 2011, 15:07

Hello
First I apologize for being such an ass for what i did.
( I shouldn't attempt to fix a drive while I was under ) :D

I ran MAKEBAD utility to make UNC weak sectors, I have done it several times before, this time, I don't remember why, it just exit and return to the MHDD> prompt, so i stupidly call makebad and press enter several times and then yes.

RESULT -> the first sector of the drive now is marked UNC , hence, the driver is now dead!.

any idea of how can i revert this?, sector 1 is OK, i just make it UNC by mistake (one F%&$#/ stupid mistake you will probably leaf your ass of :D )

I was reading and couldn't find anything that clears UNC sectors, so I will try a low level format, to see if this clears this sector.

thank you
Indkt.
