Hi guys,

I've got a Toshiba MK6021GAS with its G-list almost full (most likely soft bads). For this reason SMART reports "drive bad". I want to clear the G-list and to format the drive. Any suggestions are wellcome.

You will need something like PC3K PCI version, however, deleting the G-List will distory all user data. As far as I know the Toshiba SMART wont show (Drive bad) unless heads are not doing the correct job so deleting the G-List wont solve the problem. Try to consifer changing heads.

The drive doesn't work normally when it is tilted. It creates soft bads which are put in the G-list
