I've got a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 drive with a few bad sectors. I tried to erase them but they still remained. I try remap option but without success either. The G-list of the drive is empty. What else can be done?

Selfscan, may be :D , or check firmware, may be G-List is "locked". Try manually input a defect to G-List and re-read it. If it's Ok, then the problem is somewhere else.

Who knows ?
