Hi, I own an external USB-drive within this 80 GB TOSHIBA MK8032GA. Unfortunately it makes funny "brrrzzz, brrzz" -sounds at certain stages.

I am no expert and have no skills in Windows, since I use Macs or Ubuntu. Nevertheless I managed to run HDDScan for Windows version 3.0 from the M$-partition of my internal laptop drive.
All in all 182 bad blocks have been found, quite some in an area @ ca. 39%. (Please notice the graphical results depicted at the bottom of this post)

Can I straighten this device somehow by the use of software? Thanks in advance for hints and advices. :D Cheers

Model: TOSHIBA MK8032GA
Firmware: AD00

Backup and scrap this for what it is worth. Common problems include spindle motor bearing and head problems on this model.

Yes.

If you wanted to try anything, you could try zerofilling the drive and seeing if that helps. But in this case I would be very surprised if it did.

How valuable is your data. Data = very important = back up = trash drive and buy new

A new drive , much larger, is less than 50 EUR. OR ask a pro near you , if he has the possibility, to SELFSCAN the drive (he knows, if he's a real pro). If the drive PASSES you have a fixed drive, if not, it will likely die or stay as is, but doesn't hurt and it will cost you few bucks.

I would think that even asking the question means the drive should be scrapped. Drives are inexpensive, recovery isn't.

@craig6928

LLF will fix maybe a CRC bad block but won't solve servo or degraded format condition , only selfscan can fix it. And not always, indeed. Anyway it's worth a try.
