HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi all,

I have a notebook hdd with some bad sectors. The problem is that MHDD and Victoria 4.46b remap the bad sectors, but after a rescan both programs finds the same bad sectors.

I attached 3 pics with smart detailes.

What could be the problem, or what im doing wrong?

The drive is clearly very sick and you won't be able to fix it yourself. I suggest you just buy a new drive and move on. If you don't have backups & need the data from that (failing) drive, then you have some decisions to make about the next steps, depending on several factors.

Agree with Vulcan.

This drive has reached the end of its useful life (well, for you anyway. It could possible be refurbished professionally).

So if you don't need the data then bin it and buy another.
