| Post subject: | MHDD scan+erase delays |
Hi everybody To make a question short & simple, were someone of you able to remove "delays blocks" with success with MHDD ? I follow all steps from FAQ (erase, scan+erasedelays, scan+remap ) but red + brown blocks still show up when I rescan the hard drive. If I run only scan+erase delays, the red + brown blocks are gone. But when I rescan the hard drive without erase delays, the red + brown blocks will show up again. Am I missed something ? |

Their are few red blocks at the beginning of the disk and some of them become bad sectors time to time. These make partition table unreadable and cause system freeze. I don't use this hdd for stocking something important. I use it only for stocking tv recording. |

If my memory serves me right, the HDD controller doesn't care about the file system, so remapping unstable block should do. GPT? In the case of NTFS, a win7 and on have nice 'software' mapping via chkdsk [drive:] /r /b (not sure about XP though). Anyway, as far as the HDD isn't active (bootable), how about unclaimed space at the beginning--moving the partition? |

Anyway, as far as the HDD isn't active (bootable), how about unclaimed space at the beginning--moving the partition? Never mind. the hdd is dead now (click of death). The bios doesn't even detect the hdd now. I already attempted to isolate those blocks with partition magic, but the hard drive still used this space. Anyway thank you all for the inputs. |
